The RPM of a baler is an important factor to consider when determining how much hay the machine can produce in an hour. The average baler produces between 15 and 20 bales per hour, but this number can be higher or lower depending on the size of the baler and the operator's skill level. Generally speaking, the larger the baler, the higher the RPM required to produce a consistent bale size. Likewise, experienced operators will usually run their machines at a higher RPM than those who are new to operating a baler. When deciding what RPM to run your baler at, it is important to consider both production goals and safety concerns. Running the machine at too high of an RPM can result in hay being ejected from the chamber at high speeds, which can pose a serious safety hazard for nearby workers.
