Super M.....can it do it?

I currently have a Super M and I love the tractor. It has served its purpose very well. (Square baler, hay rake, mower, and a 3 point bale spear)

But now we want to do more round bales. We are looking at a Vermeer 605C. I know that the Super M will be underpowered. Is it possible to make the Super M handle a round baler? And if so, what are the reliability issues then?

I searched the site some, but fell short on finding info. I may need to sell the Super M if I cant make it work. I don't want to think about selling it.

Thanks!

I have a 510 JD baler that I have run with a 560D 966 and 1486. I always go back to the 560D. It handles the baler fine 6’ X 6’ bale unless on steep hills or the hay isn’t fit to bale. Maybe the 560 would be closer to your price range, and a 560D is a pretty fuel efficient tractor.

A 706 would do the job ok if it was one of the later ones . We have found that by just adding a few more pony's in front of a round baler that the bales come out better , we have two 706 gassers and befor we rebuilt the one it was a 263 gasser and it ran the baler ok the other late model 706 was also a gasser with the 291 in it and it did a much better job then we put the 806 on the baler and it did even better and we have gone up to the 1066 on the same littel Krone 125 and it will do even better so here again horse power does matter even though all the rest of the fleet will run the Krone 125 just fine the 806 and 1066 make the best bales. Now i think that everybody on this board knows that i like a 706 gasser but now with the price of the high test gass pushen 3.29 on the farm the old rag 806 diesel is getting used more as on the light work it sips fuel . We ran it everyday for over a week planting corn on one full tank and a extra 5 galions added just to be on the safe side on the last field as it was a WEeeeee e bit steep.

Why not get another tractor and keep the Super M. I know I will never bale hay again with out at least 3 tractors. One for mowing, one for raking and one for the baler. I'll never go back to just one tractor

If your hay is not too heavy, and you don't have any steep hills, the Super M might handle it, but it will be marginal at best. This might be the perfect opportunity to add another horse to the stable. Something like a 706 or even an 806. A decent tractor of that size shouldn't set you back much more than 3 to 4 grand.

I think you already know the answer...

There's nothing you can do to "make" the tractor handle a load that's bigger than it was designed for without compromising the reliability and durability of the tractor.

This is what I had figured. Thanks for the comments. That Super M is just a awesome machine. It has out pulled, and out worked the Minneapolis that it works along with.

An 806 would be a great tractor to have. But I don"t have that kind of money right now. I"ve found a few, but with the cost of fuel, I would go broke trying to get them here.

I guess I will have to keep an eye out for something. Thanks again!
