Would you keep the density up to keep your rep in tact or slacken it to keep the straw owner happy? Iv never been asked to slacken off the pressure. I think most men are happy with good solid bales and charge accordingly for them.
Is that right yeah
What tractor and baler have you?
Relief valve goes of on a mchale at 210 bar all that will happen is the door will start opening
I bale with Ford 6640 and Claas 46.
Of course it could, but a fella buying one or two loads isn't going to calibrate anything yearly.
It has the power to fill a bale. Not much left to spare in fairness but It's a surprisingly gutsy little tractor.
Very surprising.
Ah not really. I just tip along nice and easy and give it plenty of time to take in the bit of hay. Output would be low enough compared to the Valtra on the same baler but in tight spaces like the garden in the above picture the 362 is a gem.
I never baled with less than 100hp and I never felt comfortable until I got to 150, never had a Krone baler though.
Same as that, here is my baling outfit from the 90s. Less power but take it handy filling the bales and she worked away. Twine was the preferred option back then.
Ahh but I'm just a poor farmer barely living above subsistence levels
. In seriousness if I was doing hire work then I'd be using a lot more power then I do at times here. When it's your own work you can get away with smaller kit.
I use to bale with a deutz 7206 {70hp) back in the Eighties . Was pulling a International 5 foot baler spitting out 6 foot bales. Those belt balers did not require a lot of power. You never baled unfit straw with it as it the baler would let you know pretty fast with belts slipping.
Did you have difficulty getting it cut on time or it just caught you out by surprise with the moisture? 4 or 5 days earlier cut would weigh a lot more and still be under 20% moisture.
The first round baling I did was with a Massey 450 belt baler and 62hp. Power was plenty sufficient and the bales were hard centre. But if hay wasn’t fit you could spend more time inside the baler with a knife hacking hay off the intake rollers than you would spend driving it. Great yoke to let you know it wasn’t fit. Belts would twist and hay would wrap, bad language would be common. It wasn’t until the arrival of a Claas 44 that I knew what it was like to stay in the cab until all four rolls of twine were used up.
ahh you should have baled the dew into it to weigh them up a bit more
Won't use a rush for bedding but I've seen the finest of cattle bedded on rishes.dry and as clean as a cork.
