I have searched through the archives and found where there seemed to be concerns with excessive ware and tare on a N using a PTO bailer. Could someone help me understand those concerns? I really would like to cut and bale using my 2N but not at the expense of damaging her.

Thanks in advance,

2Nnewbe

The concern is not enough power. Consider that the old New Holland balers that were very popular in Mid Illinois in the 50's, had a V-4 Wisconsin engine on them. These were rated around 20 HP. There was some custom balers around here then that had Ferguson TO-20 and a TO-30 that they pulled the baler with. The baler and loaded hayrack behind was some times more than the tractor could even get up the hills with, and these were Wisconsin power New Holland balers. There were a few farmers who did there own baling with PTO balers, but all I can remember was Farmall "M" and Oliver 88 on them. It made them 3 bottom tractors grunt at times. I loaded bales behind the 88 and it was awful. Sensitive govenor made the rack jerk to where it was almost impossible to stay balanced holding a bale. Now if you just want to let the bales fall on the ground and have really light windrows you may get by with the "N". But it will definately will not be a production machine. Remember, most other tractors ran at full governor speed to get 540 RPM on the PTO. Your "N" is cut back to about 2/3 throttle which takes away from the delivered horsepower on the PTO.

Since a baler is basically just a trailer,
I was wondering if I could mount a small car engine
and transmission on a trailor to pull behind the N
and then pull the baler behind that as a tandem.
Let the car engine power the baler.
I'm not gonna do it. too much work.
But I was wondering if it would work.

Well, the 2N (I have several)on a good day only had about 23 H.P. about what you need to run the baler not counting pulling it around. So the problem is not enough power to do it all at one time and not really enough weight to control it all. If you have flat land and very small windrows you could do it.
