| The machine was used to collect rows of straw left behind by harvester threshers, or to collect hay and wilted hay. Compared to low-pressure presses, the K 442 saved about half the transport and storage space. The press was semi-mounted, and it was usually pulled by a tractor. The bale was discharged towards the trailer. The K 442 was made by an East German company Fortschritt. | |
