“the more I use my
ROTO-BAIER,
the better I like it . ”
That’s what one owner of a Koto-Baler had-to say!
' “And,” he continues, “I don’t have to worry
about rain. I know the hay is safe in the bale. I also
like baling the hay on the tough side to save leaves.”
The Roto-Baler, built by AUis-Chahners, costs
less to buy.. .less to run. And remember there’s
nothing like round bales for protecting the quality
of your hay!
See us NOW be ready for your'nexf cutting of hay.
