Fridley, J; Burkhardt, T H

A large round-bale hay baler was modified to examine the concept of baling forest biomass in large round bales. Material baled, feed orientation, and baler belt tension were varied to observe their effects on the baling process and bale density. The torque and power required to drive the baler were measured. 10 refs.
