I made that comment because his SM doesn't have a live PTO. One way you make it through heavy spots is you pop it into neutral and let the baler clear then back in gear and go on, a lower gear if necessary. Baling with a Farmall in third gear if you want to downshift before it lugs the tractor down you can ease it into neutral without using the clutch and on the next baler stroke go right into second, still no clutch and no gear clash. My dad taught me that and it's slick as snot. Got to clutch to get back to third, however. I imagine it's a little faster with a live PTO, and I've tried it once, but didn't like it. If you're paying attention (and you don't have anything else to do) you can bale without live PTO quite nicely. I don't use hay wagons because I have no help, just use a NH bale wagon, again behind an M. I was doing about 15,000 bales per year. I'd usually go all year without breaking a shear pin, then with a worn adjustment I'd break two or three in one day.
