The mounted roll baler packing chopped material for silage into small roll bales was developed in order to improve the silage-making operations on a small scale paddy field.1. This mounted roll baler which was top-filled from either the field chopper or the forage harvester produced small roll bales at 45cm in diameter and 75cm long. Chopped material were catched by the hopper and moved toward the bale chamber. The roll bale was formed by chain-driven roller surrounding the bale chamber and tied with twine.2. The chopped corn from the field chopper were baled weighing 50kg and at the density of 150kg per cu meter at dry matter on condition that the losses by baling missed were 10%. In the case of chopped forage from forage harvester such as sorghum, barley, and grass, the density of the bale produced was 120kg per cu meter at dry matter that weigh 35 to 50kg, when the losses by baling were less than 3%. The power requierments for this machine were found to be 1.2kW for baling work. The field capacity of harvesting and baling was obtained 1.0 to 1.4 tons per hour.
