I agree with 300jk. Tractor will be only slightly less then full throttle. We baled with a JD 50 no tach. Pa had a handheld tachometer for the cylinder speed on the a-6 combine. He put it on the pto of the 50 and determined 540 was slightly less then full throttle. Run through a tying cycle by hand without twine. If everything looks good put the twine in and run it right up to full speed for the very first bale. If something is not right you will have the trouble weather your running it slow or fast and running slow breaks shear bolts. Always run the baler at recommended 70 strokes. I thought the number 68 in the model 268 stood for 68 spm. I have a NH 65 and the 65 stands for 65 spm. Model 370=70 spm. Anytime someone says their baler is shearing flywheel bolts my first question is are you running it 540 rpm? Their answer is always no. I run it slower so the knotters have more time to do their thing. Any baler will always work better and less problems running 540 pto. That's what they were designed to do.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
