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.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
