Hey folks,
Had a near miss the other day with the baler, tractor, and hillside. Baler weighs the same as the tractor and I was going down a slight hill that turned out to be not so slight when the baler started pushing the tractor (ground was getting damp). Coulda, shoulda, woulda.... But would extra weight on the tractor (filled tires and/or wheel weights) have prevented this or at least made it better? How much heavier should the tractor be than the baler? This is not a big place so I plan to just rake the hay to the bottom and bale it there, but i may get lazy.
Thanks, Dave
