New round baler
The New Holland model 634 baler, can make 4 x 4 foot (1.2 x 1.2 metre) bales weighing 292 kilograms.
A 40 HP tractor is enough power to operate the baler.
The compact unit has closely spaced curved tines on its pickup. The pickup is nearly 30 centimetres wider than the bale chamber to gather short, fine material. As well, the additional width crowds material into the bale chamber for firmer bale ends.
The 634 baler forms bales by a combination of rolls and heavy duty three-ply belts that minimize leaf loss. In operation, most of the bale weight is carried by the floor roll. Pivoting front rolls provide a large core-forming area for quicker core formation even in short, dry slippery material. Pressure increases as the bale forms to increase bale density. The electric twine system applies two strands of twine at the same time.

Solving hard water
The Scalewatcher Electronic Descaling system requires no chemicals or plumbing.
The Scalewatcher Electronic Descaling system is designed to remove limescale from pipes, bell waterers and nipple drinkers in poultry farms, milk stone and bacteria from milk lines in dairy farms and from water-fed equipment in hog farms.
It requires no plumbing, chemicals or maintenance.
Scalewatcher functions with an electronically applied field generated by a solenoid coil wrapped around the outside wall of the pipework to be treated.
With Scalewatcher’s frequency modulation technology, a pulse wave is produced which changes direction several thousand times a second.
In reaction to the varying field, the crystal growth of scaling minerals is altered. Treated crystals remain suspended in solution and do not add to the build-up of mineral deposits.
As well, existing scale deposits are softened and erosion removes the loosened scale crystals from the system.Scalewatcher can use on-site or solar power and requires no changes to existing pipes.
