I bought two ProQuality baskets and started using them this year behind my MF124 baler. They were running $1500 used. I think new EZ Trails are over $3000. Sure was nice not to be stacking on the wagon when it was 98 degrees and humid. I get about 95 bales in mine, and I stop once and move some of the bales toward the back of the basket when they start bunching up at the top. Next time it happens, I change baskets, as I need to keep the load under 12' to back into my shed to unload. I've found it best to stop moving forward before making a sharp corner, to clear the baler, then make the turn. Less likely to be pushing hay into the chute while turning. Biggest problem is if it happens to be the end of a bale starting into the chute while turning.
I was getting a few broken bales per load, but that's because of the baler, need to sharpen or adjust twine knives because some knots weren't holding. After I got used to running the baskets, I could see if I had a broken knot as the bales go up the track, and then stop and retie while they're still compressed. Like Paul said, they do spread out a lot when you unload, but if you open the gate and use a few bales to prop up the gate, you can pull them out pretty easy to keep the pile smaller. A few bales get curled up like a caterpillar depending how they are in the basket, but usually can be flattened out.

Today's Featured Article - My Ford Golden Jubilee - by Troy Estes.

The generator was shot as well as all the wiring. I dropped off the tractor expecting a transformation from a 6 volt to a 12 volt system utilizing the original generator housing, and a total rewiring of the whole tractor. The front end center pin bushing was worn also so I ask that they replace it if they had time. Well, that’s wha
