A baler is an agricultural machine used to collect and compress crop residue like hay straw or grass into compact bundles called bales. The main function of a baler is to gather cut crop material from the field and compress it tightly so that it is easier to handle transport and store. A baler helps farmers manage harvested material efficiently and saves time and labor compared to traditional manual methods. In modern farming the baler is usually attached to a tractor using a PTO power take off which drives the machine as the tractor moves forward. The baler compresses the crop material into a desired shape such as a round bale or square bale and then ties it with twine wire or net depending on the model and requirement.
