Josh, That sounds correct. Anyway that is what the guy builds out of the new JD balers, whatever the model number is now,, he builds the 466 size bale. Any baler is a rectangle that has a hole somewhere on it to stuff hay into that a plunger compresses into the rectangle, and wraps with twine at a set length. I know I've heard that a conventional baler has to make the hay "turn a corner" to get into the bale chamber so that slows down capacity. Doesn't an inline baler also have to make the hay "turn a corner" to get the hay into the baler. After all a baler is a rectangler box,, and hay is either stuffed into the box from either one side/the other, or top or bottom.. still has some sort of "corner" to turn. Hay going into an inline baler doesn't just jump into the chamber by pfm does it? A capacity difference of just a couple of ton per hour?? maybe ?? I don't know. I've seen a inline baler working at a distance once or twice but didn't stop and closely inspect the baler while it was operating. I'm not a huge fan of the 370 Freemans yes the pickup IS wider,, but with that goofy auger on the right side of the throat it seems to slow down that "corner turning" concept. Where as the 330's are pretty straight shot right into the chamber. If the guy does build a 3 twine JD I'll get a pic. Seeing's how New Holland has stopped making 3 twine balers..... may be alot sooner than later! Freeman does need some competition in the 3 twine baler market ! |
