Has anyone had a problem with the High Low tranny being to fast in first gear to bale hay? Ive got a 48' A that i tryed use this fall and it seems that 1st is too fast, making it so the baler cant keep up and plugging up. My buddy told me the tractor needs to be full throttle for the PTO to spin fast enough. We ended up using his B with the gated tranny.

I have a "49 A that I have used with a 14T baler, on a very small field, with a hill. The field was so small, and square, that I basically just kept going in circles. I also thought it was geared wrong for this task. Had to keep the RPM"s up, and it went too fast. Slowed down to a better ground speed, and the PTO was too slow. It went a lot better than when I used my 40W though. That poor tractor was too small to handle all of that weight.

Many years ago I used an A on a 214T and got by but it was not fun without live pto. You may want to make smaller windrows. I used to put the tractor in neutral, put the pto in gear and engage the clutch to get the baler spooled up. Pull out the clutch, put tractor in low gear and reengage the clutch to start out. I would not steer into the windrow until tractor and baler were up to speed. That's why engine driven balers were popular.
