Do you think that I can plan to use my Super 55 Gas to run my 273 NH square baler? I forget the HP needs on the 273, but I was looking for real life users and experience anyway. Flat ground. My Super 55 is strong, new pto clutch too.

Thanks, I will check back tomorrow.

Yup, should do it no problem. I'm pretty sure the 55/550 are pretty much the same as about a 165 Massey, which we have used to pull our #12 baler when the 285 was needed to either keep cutting or was broke down. Handled full loads no problem.

We have used the 550 D to operate our MF #12 baler, works good.

What kind of ground are you hauling on? I can recall a couple of times when using the ole 273 and my Ford 3000 with 120 plus bales on the wagon that she would loosen up the ground a bit on a good steep slope. On rolling or flat ground you should do fine. The NH 273 was one of the best I've ever owned. Hardly ever had a no tie bale.
Good Luck,

It'll work great. I pulled a NH 273 with my 550 for many years, and it didn't stress the 550 in the slightest. In fact, you've got an automatic alarm built in- if the tractor starts chugging between baler strokes, or changes its tune, stop and check the hay- its probably too tough.

Just pulling the baler is fine. I have used a 268 on mine. My father said they had problems years ago trying to pull a wagon loaded with hay and the baler at the same time.

I would think it would do ok with that set up. I have used a 77 to pull a JD-14T balers and it did just fine and I have also used a Ford 841 to pull the same baler and it did ok but sure would have been nicer if the ford had live PTO, thats where the 77 worked out better then the ford and the ford was rated at 45 HP and the 77 at 38HP
