Hay bales in Tuscany, Italy

Make hay while the sun shines

Hay production involves multiple types of machinery, but it’s the hay baler that’s responsible for producing nice, uniform bales – just like the round ones sprinkled over the golden fields of Tuscany in our homepage image. And the round shape, while not as easy to manoeuvre as the square style, is more resistant to moisture, so they are less likely to combust from internal heat.
