Some folks are just too set in their ways and closed-minded that they laugh at anything different/new.
From what I've seen these balers make a tight small bale that can be rolled around with relative ease to feed in a small tight barn, but does not have to be handled by hand, or require a bunch of specialized equipment, the rest of the time. All you need is a small tractor with a bale spear.
I'm thinking it may be a bit small and impractical for 20 head, especially if hay is their primary source of feed. When Dad had beefers it was taking 10 small square bales plus four 30cu-ft cartloads of corn silage a day to feed 44 head. Without the silage it would have been 15-20 small square bales.
So let's say it's taking 10 small squares a day to feed, and a tiny round bale is good for 4. That's 2-1/2 rounds a day, or 913 bales in a year if you don't graze them at all. That's a lot of stopping to tie, then chasing them around the field 1-2 at a time.
Those balers are more intended for a guy with a few head of horses or cattle, and a few acres to bale.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
