Hello, just had a quick question. Been farming awhile but have run into a problem with one of my tractors. I bought a JD557 round baler in excellent shape recently, brought it home hooked it to the tractor and the door will only open about 1/2 way. With a little research I found that the baler requires 2,200psi to operate and my tractor I want to round bale with is a IH 656 Hydro diesel and it only has 1,900psi. So my question is what is the best way to increase the psi on my hydraulic system? I have read that you can replace the hydraulic pressure valve with one out of a 1086 for instance that will up the pressure but I have also heard there are some after market conversion kits that will up the pressure. Any thoughts would be appreciated thanks and God bless
 
If the door opens half way there is enough pressure or it would not even open door.More pressure wont open door more but amount of hy fluid mite stop it from going further do you have enough fluid to operate cycls all the way. Check hy level when cycl stops moving.
 
Leverage arm and geometry change as door opens. But I think a 656 is going to be short power on that baler and he will never realize its true baling potential.
