The one I had was a 550 (4' wide up to 6' diameter bales ) but I guess they are similar machines in the way they work. I had a bit of fun with slippery hay too. It seemed to work a lot better with the compressor rack on, which holds the material down, thus helping to prevent the hay wrapping around the starter roller. I found that reducing the PTO speed at the start of each bale helped too. When I say reduced, I do not mean having the engine down to tick over, but with the tractor running at about 1200 rpm.( the tractor, a Renault 781 had its 540 speed at 1980 engine rpm ) . I used to bale silage with the machine too. There was a scraper bar fitted to prevent grass wrapping around the starter roller, but this had to be removed if you were baling hay or straw otherwise material would get jammed in between the scraper and roller. Another thing I found was that where hay was concerned it had to be really 'fit', problems tended to occour if the hay was damp e.g. in the early morning or late evening ie if the ground was a bit 'dewy'. I liked the baler, as it made good solid dense bales, The Claas 62 I had was a fixed chamber 'soft core' baler, the bales were no where near as dense, but with that baler it was a case of 'just point it down the row and go'. It was no where as pernickerty as the Deere!

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
