Old Allis Chalmers Model 10 automatic hay baler. This modernized how hay was baled. Previously, baling resulted in square bales usually tied with string. the roto baler produced round bales that literally rolled off the baler. They were wound with twine, which made it much easier for livestock to get at the hay. The Roto Baler was the precursor to the larger balers of today.
