Gas powered compressor would be great. It was just much cheaper for me to use the electric and a generator. I had generator already. Bought inexpensive compressor. Hopefully I will be able to move enough straw to buy a good one when this one dies.....

Proof is on the pudding. Does a great job. Already paid for itself. Tomorrow it should be dry enough to bale again.

Yes I am and it works great. I will never go back to tying the loops in the ends of the strings and using the knot like a truckers knot.

It is supposed to be clear with the sun shining every day next week. I hope I can get a video of the baler working. Better yet I hope I can get some videos up of the entire operation at work.

hmmm, was I wrong calling that a millers knot? when I looked it up on youtube, that millers knot was the one for tying up sacks.
does the kind you switched to , have a different name?
