BigFoot Plastics Baler: Dennis Sutton, Baler Developer, Describes the BF300 Model

Abstract

Dennis Sutton, developer of the line of BigFoot mobile plastics balers designed for on-farm collection of agricultural plastics, describes features of the BF300 model and how it works. This particular machine was supposed to be sent to New York State for use by the Recycling Agricultural Plastics Program, but because of seemingly interminable delays in funding, went instead to a rancher in Colorado. The balers that eventually came to NYS in late 2010 differed from this particular baler in small ways and were fabricated elsewhere. This interview was conducted by Lois Levitan at the World Ag Expo in Tulare, California, in February 2010.
