Different crops bale different. As previously stated normal bad bales especially soft sided bales are caused from the OPERATOR not doing his driving job correctly. To make firm sided bales the windrow must be crowded on each side. This is accomplished from weaving back & forth or large windrows. I've been acquainted with and operated/demonstrated rd balers since they first came out. I can't count the number of times I've be told that there is something wrong with the baler because the operator couldn't/wouldn't make a good bale of hay. Then I get on tractor and prove to them it's "only operator error" not the machine. There have been a very few times when the condition of the hay will overrule but very few. Usually it's the operator. Running a rd baler correctly is an art and more difficult than it appears.
DISCLAIMER: I have no experience with a soft core baler(tumbling) nor desire any experience with one.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
