An attempt was undertaken towards explanation of the effect of green fodder moisture content, ground speed of the baler and the length of plants on the level of average compaction of material in bale. The field investigations were carried out on the constant-chamber rolling baler equipped with cutting unit. The investigations were executed in an uniformly formed material roll of constant mass per 1 running meter, independently of moisture content. To prove the statistically significant effect of analysed factors on the bale compaction a variance analysis was carried out. There were also developed the empirical models of compaction degree related to moist and dry mass conected with characteristic physical parameters of the material and exploitation parameters of tractor-baller outfit
