Subject: Baler pressure/density settings


Driftless SW Wisconsin

What are the benefits and drawbacks to the baler pressure setting on a JD baler? I like dense bales but is their a cost in belts or other wear? Currently I run with the gage at the upper end of the green but wondering if that is too high.  "5x6" bales set at 68" seem to be expanding a couple inches in diameter after ejected. Would the bales "breathe" better and equalize moisture significantly better at a lower pressure setting?

Where do you more experienced hay people in humid climates run your JD baler pressure setting?
