baler

noun, a machine for making bales of hay, straw or other materials (COD)

“The hay we done baling with Smith on shares. He used the baler, and we done all the work.”

“And the one time I was baling over there and then the baler quit on me. And then I went down underneath the thing there to look at those needles, you know, tried to fix it … but anyway when I came out from under the baler there was a man standing there.”

“I remember those days, ’cause after the balers come in, we would bale them up, and then you had to get a loader … After, you had to get this big elevator-loader thing that you left at the barn, and you threw the bales on and put all the hay up.”

“The old-fashioned baler. Well that’s what it was, but I’d never seen it running, but it looked like it was set up right in the barn, and maybe you just forked the hay out of the mow into it. I never seen it go.”

“Oh, hay balers and combines.”
