HI Bob Not so sure about baling corn stalks, I have tried this for shooting bows. Very hard on the equipment. MAKE SURE THAT YOU DON'T GET THE ROWS TOO BIG, AND NO STONES OR ANYTHING ELSE HEAVY(DIRT) IN THE ROWS. I brush hogged with side open I think one row at a time, blowing the side that was open into the next row make a row out of about 4 to 5 rows. If I remember right was ok to bale if there was some grass ( weeds ) mixed in. But the bales were too loose. I think you'll find that if you cut two rows at a time it is to rough to bale, chopped up better one row at a time. Bales were hard to handle and messey. Raking (turning) was very hard on the rake; heavy maybe it was too green, not sure. Go slow try to get dry before you cut it down, cut it high so not to get the dirt, small rows 1'-1 1/2'( no big winrows ) Make sure it is clean of objects, be ready to fix the rake, and baling should go OK. Your not going to get it all going to leave a tail behind the baler. The bales should be on the loose side, you don,t need to force the needle into the knotter, than you will need to fix that, so let the bales on the the loose side. May have to watch that so you can find a happy middle ground ( bale tenion). Give it a try and GOOD LUCK !! Punchie
