"To do a good job, one must first have the right tools." For alfalfa baling operations, thorough preparation is fundamental to ensuring efficient and smooth operation, far more cost-effective than rushing into work and experiencing frequent breakdowns along the way. This preparation can be broadly divided into three aspects: machinery, hay, and personnel.
       Machine preparation is crucial. First, a comprehensive "check-up" of the baler is necessary: check all lubrication points and add the appropriate grease as required by the manual; check the hydraulic system oil level for normalcy and for leaks in the pipelines; carefully inspect key working components such as the knotter assembly, needle, and cutter for integrity, flexibility, and wear, and perform test runs; ensure the binding rope or wire reel is installed correctly and the rope path is unobstructed; check the tightness of all bolts and pins; and clean up any remaining dirt and hay clippings from the previous operation. Simultaneously, check the tractor to ensure its power output (PTO) is normal, the hydraulic system is functioning properly, and the fuel is sufficient.
       Hay preparation is equally critical. The moisture content of the Silage Baling Press is the primary factor determining the success of baling and its safe storage. Harvested alfalfa hay typically needs to be dried to a suitable moisture content range (e.g., around 15%-18% for long-term storage bales). Excessive moisture content can cause internal fermentation and heat generation, leading to mold and even spontaneous combustion; insufficient moisture content results in brittle leaves and nutrient loss. Furthermore, the hay should be gathered as evenly and continuously as possible, avoiding interruptions or excessive thickness, which provides ideal feeding conditions for the baler.

Finally, personnel preparation is crucial. Operators must be familiar with the machine's operating procedures and safety regulations, understand the day's work plan and plot conditions, and prepare necessary tools, spare baling rope, repair parts, and personal protective equipment. Only when personnel, machine, and materials are all in optimal condition can a smooth and efficient baling operation begin.
