Makes a 4x4 bale. Manual says you need at least 45 pto hp, but I've heard of guys running 1020's on them on flat ground. Makes one of the tightest and prettiest dry bales of any baler out there, and is extremely reliable as long as you oil the numerous chains daily.

I stand corrected on the first 2 digits denoting bale size. If it makes a 4 x 4 bale hp requirements would be less, but you can check with JD dealer.

I think the last 2 digets of the JD model numbers indicate the size, so that one should make 4 x 6 bales.

Don't know about hp, but 65 hp should do it.

To the best of my limited knowledge, all the late model JDs are good balers. I go to a farm show in South Georgia each year where they demonstrate balers on Coastal Bermuda grass which makes nice bales. Often they don't wait for the hay to be good dry since they are demonstrating balers, not putting up hay. However, one year they had dry hay and the JDs put up the tightest bales.

Note that the JD balers don't use a bottom roller to support the bale, If that is an issue with you.

I haven"t seen a JD 446 baler but a 467 produces a 4X6 bales when fulland a 567 produces a 5X6 so it appears the first two digits denote size. Tx Jim
