Do you think she'll keep the bale turning

[Victor]

Got some small fields and narrow gates to do later
Do you think she'll cope

 

[multi power]

Why not ? That tractor must be 80 or 90 hp

 

[Victor]

100 hp will be chopping it too

How many bales on the baler?
The tyres look very worn.

 

[Yale]

Just drop the knives out when she starts coughing.

3 yr old about 8k bales
Must be poor photo

 

[Henarar]

Yes

 

[stevedave]

It should be fine although a bit slower.

 

[Horn&corn]

Downhill it’ll be fine.....

 

[Boohoo]

It should be fine although a bit slower.

Slower doesn't really work with round balers because the slower you go the more you pack into a bale and the higher the power requirement.

How ever did we manage before 200 hp baled plenty with a Ford 5000 and 6600 on a roll ant 62. Clouds of reek and a gear and dual power drop when finishing bale and now knackered lungs with all dust , god bless air con and sealed cabs , cough my guts up most days

 

[kiwi pom]

It’ll be good, just make sure the radiator and air filter are nice and clean and take it out of top gear[emoji106]

I baled hundreds of silage, hay & straw bales with a Ford 4600 (62hp) & a Welger RP12 (4’ bales) - it did splutter a little sometimes though . [emoji849]

 

[mixed breed]

90hp should be fine, but then things have moved on lately, I went baling somewhere on Monday and there was a mf6480 (150hp) on a pz haybob

 

[Northeastfarmer]

She wouldn’t pull the skin off a rice pudding without twin beacons

 

[vantage]

Barely powerful enough for the yard scraper!

Can't really compare a modern round balers capacity with a rp12

 

[manfromhill]

If you’ve got to the stage of putting it in you may as well give it a bash

 

[hally]

She will be fine, I would just use a half set of knives though and keep them sharp, reduce the bale pressure so the bale is kicked out before it gets to the stage of killing your tractor and don’t use too big a rowing up machine

I’ve seen our vicon RF 235 on the NH 5060 that should manage fine
