My wife drives and I stack when we bale. She rarely looks back and I have to yell three or four times to get her to stop. "Says" she doesn't hear me but I suspect otherwise. Been thinking about some kind of mike and headphone set we can talk on like the motorcyclists use. Any suggestions?
 
Find a good Stack wagon. This will put a stop to her ignoring you, like we suspect. Was some of the best money I spent when I was haying.
 
There should be all kinds of that stuff on ebay. Look at item 112328606023. Looks just what you want. There are a whole bunch of types.
 
Same with my wife. She's looking forward, and I can't convince her to look back where all the machinery is. Have to scream about 3 times before she hears, and does a panic stop.
 

My wife will tell anyone that the best anniversary present that she ever got was the baler with the thrower.
 
We bought a set of headset mics from radio shack so the wife (cashier) and the clerk could talk if there was a question. They weren't expensive and sure saved a lot of time and money. Keith
 
the first time I had my wife help me she kept stopping several yards past the bale. I walked up to the cab to ask why wasn't she listening to me. The windows were rolled up and the Ac and radio were on. She would stop when she could see the bale in the mirror. we discussed the proper way to drive and remained married for almost 44 years.
 
you can try this.

The headsets from motorcycles and snowmobiles will work. If your wife really does not want to drive the baler, look for a baler thrower or hire a different driver for $20 per hour. Better yet, offer her the $20 per hour if her driving improves.

It's possible that she enjoys driving the baler and getting yelled at about as much as you would enjoy holding her purse for hours in a bridal shop.

What about using the FRS (Family Radio Service) walkies with a headset?
 
Get a cute young gal back there on the wagon with you. She'll be turning around and watching you like a hawk. I'll bet she'd hear everything you say too.

I believe that will work.
