I keep hearing everyone talk about good size windrows for the baler. Well it seems to me the rows will be what the rows will be- a lot of hay will make a large wind row right? Should I have taken into consideration the size of my baler when picking my haybine? Also I bale in first gear - is this too slow? thanks

Like Old said, it helps to know what model baler and possibly the tractor. We pull a Massey 12 behind our 285, and we go in 2nd in heavy hay, 3rd in light. 1st gear does sound a little slow to me, but I don't know what you've got.

A lot of folks will rake windrows together so they don't have to make as many passes with the baler. To big to me is when I can't drive slow enough to keep the shear bolts from breaking.

What baler and tractor are you using? If it is a square baler and the bales are coming out banana shaped, sometimes that can be caused by either to small a windrow or to slow feeding of a windrow....

Really need more info on what type of baler. I use a NH 460 haybine which doesn't put it in windrows, and a NH850 baler. If I use 1st gear I get bales that weight around 2500lbs which are just plain to heavy. I use 3rd gear and pull it with a 1955 Oliver Super 88 and the bales still are around 1800-2000lbs. Now when we use the JD-14T square baler we use 1st gear and I will be pulling it with an Oliver 77.

Using a Farmall 656 pulling a NH 469 haybine. After that same tractor with a NH 273 baler. Use the 8N to tedd and rake. Never considered the rows were too light and that may be hurting the bale shape? tom

Yep to light or to heavy either can hurt the way the baler works. I'm guessing its a squrae baler since that number isn't one I know as far as being a round baler. I know when you use a round baler you need to weave side to side one the winrows but you don't need to do that with a square baler.

You can always rake two swaths together if the downed crop is too thin to make a nice tight bale.
