Ag engineering instructor told us about AC Rotobalers, said AC quit making them once, within two years used Roto balers at Auction were bringing more used then new. AC realized there was an opportunity and started making them again. Never ran one, never saw one running, the guy I milked for had one sitting in the fence row next to an Oliver square baler that died 200 bales after he bought it and went back to the Rotobaler, by the time I came on the scene he made hay with a MF#3 and an 806 Farmall LP gas special. Cleaned a few round bales out of barns, didn't think they were that easy to handle but the twine was pretty rotten, don't think small squares would be easy to handle under those circumstances.

Seems to me both IH and AC lost their innovation, started making products that weren't as good as their competitors (maybe only for a short time), lost market share and eventually closed the doors.
