Other direction about same distance north! I also remember a 3m combi on a 2wd Ford 7610!
Machinery too expensive

Our 2wd 7610 couldn't even keep the front wheels on the ground with a full set of weights and the 3m combi on the back with an empty hopper. Only ever moved it with it once. that was enough. if we had dropped it in the ground it wouldn't have even moved it. Would have just dug holes with theback tyres.

Duals and a Richie front press! It was a Kuhn/accord combi.

I thought about this thread as I loaded up 24 tonnes of grain today using a Parmiter that I bought for £10 at a sale a couple of years back because nobody wanted it. Something about not having an electricians test certificate. Perfectly fine when I got it home. Mint in fact. Only slightly slower than a loading shovel and you can sit and have a chat while it works away fairly quietly. I tip trailers into it.
I then went out and baled £1000 worth of small bales using the DB1494 and International D454 or whatever it's called that we have had since 1980. All ran trouble free and don't owe me much. The MF565 was raking ahead of me, but I do wish the lad would just put 2 into 1, not 3 into 1. Was overwhelming my pick up.

Duals, man!
Ours is only a kuhn accord. yes it mite have moved it all be it slowly on duals but the amount of weight needed to keep the front down with seed in the hoppe would have broke the old girl in half.
Have had the TM155 front wheels off the ground on a steep bank with 900kg on the front links...

Looks like a more cheerful version of a 1990's Krone basic baler.

It does. Probably is as noisy and clattering too.
I don’t have a problem with the above type of machines just I couldn’t handle the din of them.
a lot of the problem these days is the machines are to far back they don't start doing anything for ten foot behind the tractor wheel [deliberate exaggeration ]
take ploughs for example an old conventional plough would have two farrows in front of the front one on some ploughs, now hedgetrimmers are the same the first one I used the arm didn't miss the wheel by much now the arm is way back and they make a forward reach version just to get the head back to where it should have been in the first place
and case in point a mate of mine was using a 4m powerharrow with air drill and front tank and saying there wasn't much weight on the front when the tank was empty, I had a quick look and could soon see a way that the whole lot could be brought forward six inches just with a bit of farmer alterations most likely a factory redesign could see a fair bit of the weight moving forward a foot or more which would make a hell of a difference but its much more easy to tell the farmer to get a bigger tractor or hang more weight on the front than it is to make this stuff properly in the first place
Harry ferguson could soon tell most of them a thing or two
As a student about 30 years ago I was one of two on a mainly root crop farm that were tasked with combinable crop establishment. We had a Ford 8240 on a 6 furrow trailed plough and 4m combi on a dualled all round 7840. We planted a total of 1500 acres (barley, osr, wheat and beans) and started late August and finished late October. We saw the farm manager every 3rd day as he’d turn up with a 12m set of rolls on a Fiat 140 to roll up what we’d done in the last 3 days and replenish the seed stock. Seed was bulk in a grain trailer with auger pulled by a cabless two wheel drive 4610 and the trailer had a rollover sheet (unheard of back then) so stayed out in the fields over night. Life seemed so much easier back then

Reminds me of a Fort we used to have. On that note, wouldn't buy it.
That looks to have more pick-up throat than the budget Krone (Bellima?); which looks like it could be a bit of a problem.

It could be. I don’t know enough about those type of balers but the little old Krones of yesteryear where good balers.
I suppose it depends on what is being baled, a larger throat or intake would be a good thing in hay/haylage as that type of dry to very dry grass whistles through quite easily and a full intake would leave a nicely shaped square edged bale.
Wet or short or even worse, wet and short grass more care may be needed.
