Hallatt’s Hay and Seed in Alberta provide high quality horse hay in the form of small square bales. In order to greatly increase productivity they decided to link 2 small square balers together by building a unique hitch system. The rear baler is steered with the help of a hydraulic orbit motor. They are able to run the entire system with the hydraulic capacity provided by the Buhler/Versatile 2145 bi-directional tractor.
