Hi I run a 688 NH with a 100 ish hp valtra , when I get on the 36ft wide winter wheat swaths that are as wide as the front wheel spacing and 2.5 ft high. I'm baling at 7.5 to 11 KM an hour depending on the straw feeding in. I can make that run out of steam on some hills with a near full 5x6 bale doing 6-7 km and be dropping down gears on the 3 speed power shift.
My buddy has an 1175 case on a 535 doing hay, he said he's got loads of power on hills, but moans about fuel consumption. With the smoke he gets that things not stock fuel settings from when he got it though.
A buddy of his borrowed that outfit that burned his 4440 Deere and 535, he said he could near kill the Deere on his baler doing flax with full bales, in the same field. He said that Case don't know it's even baling he figured 160 hp out of it.
I guess it depends what you are doing how fast you want to go and how big the hills are. yeah you might run it on 50hp flat land for example, but if you got hills is the tractor enough power and heavy enough to be in control. meaning as they say round here will the tail be trying to wag the dog.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
