Get big capacity and top quality
with an Aliis-Chalmers 303 Hay Baler!
The SOS’s wide 60 ,/ pickup handles light or heavy
windrows—cleans the field! Twin-feed rakes move
hay evenly into the baling chamber, comb out wads,
to form tight, square bales. Grooves are formed on
the bale to minimize twine or wire slippage. See the
303 and the complete line of A-C tools for haying!
