A hay baler apparatus positioned on a frame which is adapted for towing, comprising:

• a pickup mechanism, said pickup mechanism configured for collecting material positioned in one or a plurality of windrows;
• a transfer mechanism for moving said material from said pickup mechanism, to an entry end of a compression passage;
• said compression passage decreasing in size from said entry end toward an exit end of said compression passage, wherein a first diameter at said entry end is larger than a second diameter at the exit end of said compression passage;
• a baling chamber for forming rectangular bales of said material, said baling chamber having a first end opposite a second end;
• said baling chamber having a central area positioned in-between said first end and said second end;
• said compression passage moving a compressed stream of said material from said exit end, into said central area of said baling chamber;
• a plunger positioned within said baling chamber for further compressing said compressed stream of material on either sides of the plunger, wherein said plunger translatable toward said first end of said baling chamber to further compress said compressed stream of material into a first bale;
• a first exit ramp for exiting of said first bale from said first end of said baling chamber;
