Hi all. I would value the knowledgeable opinions of any who would care to weigh in on the idea of baling with a 45 HP deisel with hydrostatic transmission. This is a 4WD compact tractor (Bobcat brand CT445). I have a J.D.14T baler and the wagons we use hold about 120-130 small square bales. The tractor itself weighs about 4260 lbs. The PTO is rated 34HP. we bale about 15-16 acres twice a season. The south field is almost flat and the north one has small grade. My biggest concern is overheating and trashing the transmission. The thing has 3 ranges and the low range tops out at 3.9MPH. The baler is supposed to run at 3.5MPH. I realize this is an I.H. forum, but I read this forum the most and have a lot of respect for the collective wisdom here. Thanks for any responses.
