We just took it out to the feild after we replace some pick-up teeth. We only tried as the corn fodder wasn't as dry as it could have been. It worked great, but does anyone know how to increase capacity as I had to run low first gear in our 560. I would like to be able to run high first so I can use It on my M-TA(no, the low end of the TA doesn't work :-( I might try to rake smaller windrows but would like to hear anything you guys might have in mind.

By the way, the manual is on its way!!!

Does anyone have a picture of the original wagon hitch assembly that should be on it, it has a rigged up hitch on it now- but the bale shoot doesn't quite make it to the wagon, and I want to get an idea on where it should be before I cut it shorter.

Thanks

The original hitch was a pipe with several holes to adjust. Different wagons have different tounge lengths, I'd be careful cutting aything off! Just drill more holes, every 6" or so?

Cornstalks are hard - wet ones are harder. Make smaller windrows. As the other said, sharp knives, etc.....

Your MTA should be able to handle that baler with no problem. I used an M on mine for years, and could usually bale in second or third gear, until the the wagon got partly filled. A lot of my ground is steep, and it takes more power to haul the wagon than it does to run the baler. Now I use my MF 175, because it will bale just as fast with a nearly full wagon. My baler also has a kicker on it. I realize that corn fodder may not bale as easily as hay. Are the knives sharp and are the ram bearings adjusted properly?

The original wagon hitch has two pipes that slide together so you can adjust the length. I can e-mail you a picture if that would help.

Yes, If you could email me a picture that would be great- This hitch is homemade so could you also snap a shot of how it mounts to the bale chamber, as this one is twising alittle.

Thanks!!!!
