How heavy a bale will the 336 put down without you feeling like it's straining the mecanicals? And, that's a twine model, right? Loren

Are those 16x18 bales? in reply to Loren, 10-07-2004 20:50:10

If you're curious I'm looking to the future and upgrades, doing my research now. Thanks.

i had a load of broam grass this summer that were 38" long and averaged 100#. baler didn't strain a bit. if i were on the wagon stacking they never would have been that heavy. the guys never said anything. about 10 bales into the load i asked if they where alright and the guys said yes so i kept going. normally my bales run about 60#.

Interesting question and I really have no idea. I think it is more a question of density rather than weight. I've never felt mine was straining due to tightness and I set my springs for it to be difficult to have 1" of lift on the twine. Only time mine ever strains is in really good timothy and then it is volume capacity rather than weight of the bales.

Example, moisture under 10%, bales 36" long, denisty set to where it is difficult to get your hands under the twine, good timothy, 56-58# to the bale. Good alfalfa in marginal shape on moisture would weigh over 90 in the same package.

My 'record' and I am embarrassed to admit it was back when we loaded by hand. Put a load of 38" bales on a flat wagon. Guys were whining about the weight. Bales were well over 130# each and by the time we finished could already smell them geting hot, way too wet. Never strained it a bit.

The weight never strains the baler it seems rather the speed. The wetter the hay the less spring back the bales have and you can actually go a bit faster.

When my 336 has a hard time getting its mouth full ie the screw is as high as it can go and it is near plugging, it is working the baler and you can watch the rpms drop on each stroke before coming back up.
