Dalton, OH		I've heard of it and tried it a few times. In dry hay or straw it worked pretty good. In wet hay it didn't seem to work. It seems like when it plugs in wet hay, it's plugged pretty tight. Sometimes it was even hard to turn backwards by hand. I bale everything from dry hay up to 60% moisture. Like to shoot for 35% moisture for our wrapped hay, and that stuff can get sticky under the right conditions. Dealer put a different sprocket on the top auger on the pickup to slow down the feeding into the rotor. That helped some. If we were just baling dry hay and straw, I don't think there is much of a difference between the balers. The Hesston was built as a dry hay baler that they converted to bale wet hay. The Krone was built primarily as a baler for wet hay and straw as that's the primary types of crops they bale in Europe.
