Hay baler is also called a press. If its a square baler (i'll try to get pics of ours with the covers removed this weekend) it picks up the hay and feeds it into the chamber in which there is a huge plunger that presses it together. As it feeds through it wraps string around the bale, and sticks it around the end of the bale with a set up big needles then the knotters tie the knots and cut the string and the process starts with the next bale.
Now the round balers (which i do not have experience with) make the bale by spinning the hay around and around on rollers. When the hay gets to the size the operator wants (indicated by a guage on the outside of the baler, or a beeping sound, or digital display) depending on how fancy and new the baler is then the operator stops the tractor pushes a button or pulls a string that makes the baler open up and eject the bale from the rear of the baler.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
