Mornin' Paul,

They are really "old hat" around here anymore also. Big boys have all gone to the lift arm type single row sled, but there are still a few of these things around.

The tricky part is gettin' the stack loaded without pulling it apart. Gotta keep a lot of reverse pressure on those front bales to push 'em back as they come up.

I dunno, my baler manual says it builds a 5X5 bale. They sure don't look like it to me and seem small in comparison to the new balers of today, tho. All I know is that the chamber measures 4.9 feet across and I pack it till just before the pickup shear-pin breaks. :>)

I was thinking maybe I should get a bigger baler for next year until I grabbed on to one of the little darlin's. If I get a bigger baler, I'll need a bigger loader too. Those suckers are heavy and really make the old Farmhand grunt.

Look at the "bow" in the sled's running gear. Maybe that's why she poped the chains? Loaded, it is all that 686 wants 'cause the tail really tries to wag the dog. Black smoke just rolled out of 'er. :>(

Allan
