Hydraulic Thrower Control For Deere Small Square Ejection Balers
Paul Horne, 8950 Upper 240th St. W., Lakeville, Minn. 55044 (ph 612 469-4229): "I recently began marketing a hydraulic thrower control for Deere small square ejection balers. These balers come with a steel rod that you have to manually rotate in order to adjust the bale's throwing distance. To change the setting you have to reach behind from the tractor cab and rotate the rod, which is awkward to do. My thrower control uses the tractor's hydraulics to rotate the rod and is activated by a valve in the cab.
  "My thrower controls consist of a cylinder and chain contained inside a steel frame that bolts onto the baler. The cylinder chain-drives a sprocket that attaches to the rod. As the cylinder is extended or retracted, the chain rotates the rod in either direction.
  "My neighbor used it last year on 10,000 bales with no problems. It'll fit any Deere ejection baler model. As far as I know, Deere is the only company that makes ejection balers equipped with hand-operated controls for setting the bale throwing distance."
