splitting a straw swath

[Agrivator]

is there any way to split a swath from a 40ft rotary so it could be baled by a narrower pick up baler

Do you mean a small square baler? If so, remove the small wheel at the end of the pick up and just steadily bale half the swath. And then either come back down the other side or use a round baler to bale the rest.

You need a big belt baler ,that will eat it up

Not too complex if you have a twin rotor machine - see @yellowbelly 's video. I'd say it was much harder for a single rotor or straw walker machine as you've got one single stream coming off the back though the Agricar video does seem to be from a walker NH.

we used a haybob to make two rows from a 35 foot table just drive to one side and one set of tines will drag half of it to make another row

Yep, do the same myself with a haybob. Low revs and slow speed, driving to split the row in half. I tried with a Kuhn rake, but not as good IMO.

ok .....seeing as we have a haybob we'll give it a try and report back

I couldn’t make out the model on my phone. The splitter is only a conveyor belt part way along the back - the streams had already merged.
