Bear with me 'cause I've never done this before. My mower is small; it only takes a 12' cut. I've been looking for a 16' self-compelled outfit, but quite frankly, I just cannot afford those big things. Even used, they are talking up around $25-30K for a silly mower and my ol' pee brain just totally rejects this idea. Anyhoo, I'm just one feller, the hay (straight alfalfa) is looking like it's gonna be pretty darned heavy and I've got a fair-sized bunch of it to do. Can the baler handle 2 12' swaths raked together? I mean, in real heavy hay? I know it works okay in light stuff, but am worried that I'll get it all ready to go and the darned baler won't gobble it. This would gain me a day's drying time and "half" the time spent baling. I've asked the neighbors and they look at me like, "Of course ya can, ya dummy". Two of these fellows tell me that they routinely and as a matter of course pull two 16' swaths together. Boy, that seems like an awfully lot of hay going into the throat of that baler! :>( I'm so used to baling one 16' swath, that I just don't know any better. :>( Thanks for your opinion, Allan
