Pasco WA. | Weight first horsepower second. In heavy hay with slow groundspeeds you can get by with a smaller tractor. As the tonnage goes down later in the season your driving faster, that requires both more power and weight. Also depends upon how hard you push the baler. I like to make about 32 flake bales. slow up to 50 flakes and it won't take as much tractor. Also flat ground takes less, I have some hills. Running duals on the tractor helps the stability a lot. A small large frame tractor is much better than a large small frame. The extra weight makes a world of difference. When I used to bale with a 4450 it beat me to death, spooked me on the hills, and worked the crap out of the tractor. I replace it with a 4560 and wish I had gone to a 4960. I lke the hydraulics and pto clutch on the 4000 series better than the 8000 series for baling. | |
