Hp Difference between chain and belt round bailers

Farmallb · Jul 19, 2014

Which type of round bailer takes more tractor Hp. A chain bailer, or a belt bailer??

All the chain balers I have ever seen call for at least 55hp but many belt balers need less then 55hp so one would think a chain baler takes more HP to run

IIRC JD's 4ftX6ft baler requires a minimum of 65 PTO hp & 5ftX6ft 75 pto hp.

I don't think it's much a matter of whether it's a chain, belt or steel roller... what drives the power requirement is how fast the baler turns and what it's throughput capacity is. A fast baler will want more power.

Im talking, for example about 5X5 bailers.

Our KRONE 260 4x5 fixed chamber baler requires 40 HP.

Im assuming the Krone is a belt bailer, but I don't know that for sure.

Krone's are fixed chamber chain balers.

[b:654c4848f0]Rod[/b:654c4848f0] is correct.

The <a href="http://youtu.be/Uc5fy5zAKig">KRONE 260</a> is a fixed chamber, chain roller baler.
