Yes That baler will work fine in your operation. The baler make bales 40"x52" 500 lbs. If you want to make high moisture haylage you will need to change the belts from Mini-Rough Top to the Chevron belts. This bale will make good bales, comes standard with a manual twine tie, electric twine tie is optional. You can not go very fast without the bale quality suffering.

Thanks HayDR, I was hoping you'd chime in. I am only going to make dry hay, no baleage. Speed is not really important to me, as my old baler is a Hesston 5500 which was not exactly a high capacity machine, especially if the hay was a little tough. I ought to be able to run as fast with an 8420 as my old 5500 shouldn't I? Maybe just have to make the windrow a little smaller? I like the idea of not having to weave back and forth as much also.

Luke,
You sold the Oliver? It was a sharp tractor. What did you get for it? I guess you decided to downsize instead of building a hay shed?

Yes I sold it. It is still sitting in my barn, but it is going to upstate Ney York in January. An Oliver collector bought it. It was really more machine than I needed. I am still going to build the hay shed though. I am just downsizing on equipment. I can get by without that big tractor and use my newer more reliable and fuel efficient tractor if I just had a smaller round baler. And some of my square bale customers will be buying some of these smaller rounds from me as well now because the smaller tractors that they have can handle the smaller bales. I didn't really want to sell, nor did my wife, but our first child is on the way and we decided it would be better to put the money from the tractor in our savings, than to have a massive tractor that only got used for baling sitting the rest of the year.
