Abstract

Baler machines collect the swath straw when it reaches a sufficient level of moisture and bale it. However, the drying time of the material is prolonged in humid regions. This causes the land not to be used for the second crop and to get wet again in case of rainfall. Clogging is observed in commonly used baling machines when baling these products because they are more humid. The study aims to collect and bale the material even if the straw is not sufficiently dried in humid areas. For this purpose, dimensional improvements were made in the stubble chopper unit of a baler and compared with two widely used machines in the country. While clogging was observed in the other machine, no clogging was observed in the improved machine. In terms of direct usability, feed with particle size distribution smaller than 15 cm was 93.20% for the developed machine (DM) and 89.43% for the baler machine (BM-1). DM clogging problems have not been observed.
