Talk:Baler

message: Does anyone think that we should a link to the following page? History of the Baler - Please give your reasons as to why or why not!  Thanks! West wikipedia
:Because it does not cite it's sources, doesn't add anything already in Wikipedia, the site is non-notable i.e. it hasn't been cited as an authority by other reliable sources and it's authors are completely unknown. In fact if I google for earlyhistory googlepages com I get nothing. Please read WP:WEB (under criteria), WP:RS (e.g. Non-scholarly sources) and WP:NOTABLE and ideally please solve this one link first before you start posting to all the other entries you've been trying to make.

message: Is it me or does anyone else find the round baler annoying and distracting. I don't want to move it because it is related to the article, but its jumpy and gives me a headache when trying to read the article, anyone else have simmilar problems?
:Somebody might want to film a rould baler with a steadycam and eventually a longer sequence, like 15-20 secs before repeating. Alternatively a still picture and pic-text linking to a page / article with the baler in action.
:Unfortunately there are not that many balers in Copenhagen, and I'm not planning on going to my parents country-side house again the next 4-5 months. Besides I don't have a videocam :-( G®iffen 12:08, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

This would reduce the page download time for people (still) on dialup internet connections since that GIF is around 800 kb. DMahalko (talk) 20:57, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not Old Baler 

message: 1) "...bale is wrapped around the outside but not knotted."
Other than the alliterative, homonymous, and hackneyed use of "not knotted", which implies that some sort of string is used, it begs the following questions: "Why isn't it knotted? How does it stay wrapped if it isn't knotted? Why doesn't it fall apart?"
:All large (and indeed small) round bales I've seen are wrapped with fine netting.  This is wrapped round twice or more, and the threads have catchy edges which snag on the previous layer and stay in place securely, with a sort of "gentle velcro" effect – you can unroll it, but it will not come undone on its own.  If we make big bales this year (which depends on the weather) I'll try to take some pictures.  Richard New Forest (talk) 17:31, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
