[AT] Finally baling

[Carl Gogol]

I couldn't quite tell how the hay is packed from the video.  Is there a 
reciprocating plunger (Like most in the US) or is this a continuous packing 
mechanism?  I am used to the bale advancing in spurts.  Each time the 
plunger makes contact it packs and advances the hay against the force from 
the chamber's walls and tensioning device.

You can adjust the bales both how dense and how big. Now it's just set for
making bales I find easy to handle, Magdalena don't. And so it knits good.
Actually it made about 500 bales without missing.
