My Neighbor just bought an older model with the bars instead of belts. Specifically, about how heavy are they? He has to move it 100 miles and not sure if he can use his S 10 to pull it or a full size truck. Also, are there any pieces of info or words of wisdom on these bailers? He just bought the ford 860 tractor. I know its a little small, but will it pull it with loose bails?

Thanks for all your help.

I have pulled balers as far as 250 mi before.
Here is the key. Get the county maps for the counties you will be driving in.
Stay off the Interstates,US Highways and the State Highways. If you get on those its disaster waiting to happen. The stress of that kind of route would give you a heart attack.
Seen guys hauling on State Highways before cars lined up behind them for 3 mi. Passing in every concevable way. NOT SAFE!

Plan a route that takes you on the paved county roads. Only drive state Highways to get to the next county rd.
Makes for a longer drive maybe 20% longer, But alot safer for you and the dummy in the other car.

I think on the 250 mi road trip from Wisc I got passed 10 times total. Nice, smooth enjoyable drive. See lots of interesting thing too when you take all back roads.

Take spare tires,Tools , Jacks, Cell phone, Grease, Oil, wheel Bearings if you can
Have fun with your road trip and be safe.

agreeing with the rest, make sure the bearings are packed and the pull should be no problem. you need a bigger truck!!! i pulled my 850 baler home 50 miles at about 40-45 mph. my 1 ton chevy pulled it no problem but i did know it was back there. an S-10 will be an accident waiting to happen.

I agree with Allan, repack the baering before you even move it an inch, then check them every 25 miles. Make sure they are running cool, believe me you don't want them going out on the side of the road, been there done that and its not fun let me tell you. Also they are heavy, I pulled a NH 460 haybine 75 mile behind my Geo tracker but I didn't go more the 45 MPH and it was really way to much for it. Use a full size truck and drive slow. That baler is proably around 3500-5000lbs

Farmer,

100 miles is quite a jump. I really think I'd repack those wheel bearings before I started out. Probably have never been done before.

I pulled mine 23 miles with a half ton and it worked the snot out of it on the steep hills. Boy, I sure wouldn't wanna tie on to 'er with a S-truck 'cause the old heifers are heavier'n a bear.

Allan
