What happens to the guy who wants to bale some hay but only has a small as in not enough HP tractor on the PTO. Well he buys a baler with it own engine so then the tractor can both pull the baler and he can bale hay. Ya not what you see every day but it is done. [Reply]   [No Email]

We baled a lot of Johnson Grass and sorgum type grasses like Haygrazer. This was coarse heavy stuff and the farmers would use VACs, and SCs, especially when they came out with foot throttles, Ford 8Ns, JD Ms, and Farmall Cs and Hs to bale with. When you hit a thick spot you just throttled the tractor down to let the baler catch up. That is why foot throttle tractors and balers with their own engines were popular around us.I didn't see a PTO baler until 1966.Those that listened to the users did well. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]
