NH 648 baler

What is the maximum size bale a guy can squeeze out of a 648? I know that it is rated a 5ft baler but is it possible to squeeze 64 inches out of it? I make 64 inch bales now with a IH baler and would like to keep with that size. Is a 648 capable or do I need to be looking for a 650 series?
 
A 648 will not make oversize bales without causing belt and roll bearing problems.

Find a 4x6 baler and adjust the bale size down.
 
Why are you worried about size? I can get the 648 will pick more hay into a smaller bale than the IH baler will, assuming the IH baler is an older model...
 
I get 6 bales across in my 32ft building. You are right about more hay per bale with the NH. I am just trying to maximize lbs of hay under the roof.
 
That was the answer I was expecting. Out here in the boonies 4ft balers are hard to find. A 648 turned up real close and with a good price. I was hoping it would do what I needed, but thats how it goes.
