Just heard that a neighbour has been killed in a round baler accident while baling straw. Another reminder of how dangerous our industry is. Only be in his 40s with a family.
So sad and my heart goes out to his family...I took loads of risks when I was younger ,looking back its just make me quiver thinking how I got away with some things thankfully I did.Just heard that a neighbour has been killed in a round baler accident while baling straw.

Have heard he was crushed by the door. Only a rumour thoughApart from falling off of or being run over by, can one have a fatal accident with a baler if it is not powered up ?
Not sure what happened in this case, but some rush to get crops in, take time with machines,Getting the harvest done means everything until it means nothing.
Such sad news.
Thoughts with all.

yes.Can one not lock doors open?
One lad near here got dragged in and through by the leg when trying to release a blockage. Didn't survive.Knew a man who was pushing in hay into a blocked round baler with his leg and ended up in the baler.for luck a second person stopped the machine and he lived after a spell in hospital
Turn pto off if it's blocked !One lad near here got dragged in and through by the leg when trying to release a blockage. Didn't survive.
Sympathies to all concerned.
You can hydraulically lock the door but this is relying on the ram/seals/pipes being sound.Can one not lock doors open?
