Oh yeah ... can it ever.
Years ago we used to put up 1000+ bales a day between two H's. This was working a model 45 baler and pulling a body behind on the wagon. We would load those wagons as high as we could stand it too.
This was all on rolling hills and I never worried if we could carry the load. The whole caravan would pull well in 2nd gear about 3/4 throttle.
In a previous post this same baler was mentioned being notorious for knotter problems. Our experience too ... it took a third body to ride the twine box, pull twine when it slipped out of the fingers and tie bales before they pound past you. I usually drove but pulled this duty as well and it got pretty dusty back there.
Although true, the H or the M doesn't have a live PTO but knowing your equipment, you can quick feather the clutch and gear box into neutral without a jerk or missing a beat of the hammer. Timing ....
Do use the bolt on draw bar tongue ( I don't know the formal name of this peice ) otherwise you will rattle and beat your swinging draw bar to pieces after while. Use a heavy well fitted draw pin and it runs amazingly smooth considering whats going on behind you.
