A FEW WORDS ABOUT
The essential features of a hay press con
sists of rapidity to do nice smoth work at the least possible
expense. As fractically ail hav presses now being- made give
two strokes to each round of the horse, the question to be consid
ered in determining the rapidity of the press would be length of
stroke, the size of feed-hole the amount of hay thal can be put
in to feed-hole between strokes.
Light draft is, of corse, a question of leverage, in determining
which, one must consider the length of driving arm in compari
son with the length of stroke. The action of driving arm must
be such as will constantly increased resistance to the hay.
To make smoth bales, first a good tucker is required, then the
tying must be properly done. Note carefuily what press offers
the best facilities for tying.
FCONOM V cons i t ' er i l1 f- r this seatnre, one must take into
*• * consideration the cost of machine, the number
of horses and men necessary to turn out the lr rgest amount o
work in the least time, the number of parts to the press and the
liability of breakage.
Our Territory is Ware, Coffee Pierce, Applln, and Charlton Coun
ties, and if 3 r ou want a HAY PRESS in any of these Counties let
us know it.
