The PTO powered balers are powered by the tractor PTO. So the tractor has to pull the baler and run the baler. Some balers have their own little engine so they don't need the tractor PTO. Then all the tractor has to do is pull the baler. You would be way better off with a baler with its own engine for 2 reasons with the C. Number one is the C will pull it fine - but running the PTO type would tend to work it a bit hard. Number two, as someone said before, if you hit a thick slug of hay you need to slow down. The only way to do that with a C is to throttle back, which makes the problem worse, since the baler needs more RPMs not less. Or - to shove in the clutch, again, that stops the PTO. So... you are way better off with an engine baler, you can slow down, stop, whatever, and the baler keeps cranking at full bore.
