Bryce,
If I recall correctly, you have a New Holland 68 - as do I.
With regards to banana bales couple of things to check.
1. Make sure your hay dog springs are not broken or missing 2. Feed the windrow to the plunger side of the baler. 3. Check your aluminum feeding tines. They wear down several inches over time - unnoticed. New tines measured from top to bottom are around 13 3/4 inches long. If your feeder tines are wore short, you won’t solve the banana bale problem as not enough hay is pushed into the bale chamber. 4. Counter intuitive, but standing at the rear of the baler looking towards the tractor, if your bales are banana shaped to the left, move your feeder tines to the right as per the manual. 5. Make sure your plunger knife is sharp and the stationary has a nice square edge and the knife to stationary clearance is close - I think the manual calls for 1/32 inch clearance. 6. Run the baler full out at 540 PTO and with all the above, you should make bricks as good as any other baler.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
