Hi , How is the length of the front overhang determined ? I have a tongue length of 7' to the axle . I have two JD14 baler's one with a center hitch and one with the hitch under the bale chute . What are the pro's and con's of each type of hitch . And how far over the front of the wagon should the chute reach while still being able to turn both directions in the field ? I've never built a hay rack before but now that I have the gear I need a deck . I'm going to run the top lengthwise . TIA ....Randy

If you set up the bed as I said it will work with either baler as the wagon hitch on both is adjustable for either long or short tungs, one wagon will not give you much baleing capacity, Depending on the hay figure about one wagon per acre so if you want to bale 5 acres that day figure 5 wagons as if you have to stop to unload that one you will lose 2 wagons of baling time to unload that one wagon and in an average day 5 loads without stoping to unload would be a good day. The only thing about that center hitch that would have been for a kicker would be that with a chute it would hit the center of the bed and make finnishing out the front stack imposible as you could not stack a half a stack on the right side as you can with the other hitch, and the way all are talking about making racks is way overkill

Make the front overhang just slightly (6"?) in front of front edge of front tires and use the adjustable length hitch on baler to get where it will work the best, to much overhang and you will have turning problems and you say bale chute so have it just past the front of bed so that if baller drops in a low spot (Ditch) the chute will have enough sticking over the bed that it will rest on the bed and not catch under the front of bed and bust sumthing, like tearing the floor of bed

Thanks Leroy , I went out and did some more measuring and came to the conclusion that if I just hook up the bailers and turn them both ways that I'll have the exact length I'm looking for . But it looks like I'm going to have to get a rack for each one or change hitch's on the bailers if one breaks down . I've never bailed before so I don't know squat about it . This will be the learning year . I don't have any neighbors I know well enough to ask . So I'm learning everthing from this site . I run heavy equipment for a living and have a background in horticulture from 30 years ago but not much AG experience other than grading , discing and planting grass seed at construction sites . I've gotten a LOT from this sight and sometimes I try and give back from my experience in heavy equipment . Thanks one and all ! ...Randy
