We had a batch of good weather coming up so I knocked down 2200 or so small square bales over a couple days. All was going OK till one of the boys hooked up my 575 NH baler to the M8950--90 HP--Kubota but didn't push the yoke on all the way.
So when it broke the u-joint and yoke it bent and twisted the PTO shaft more than I could believe. Well, I lived miles from anywhere so I got another U-joint and grinded the pto shaft until I could hammer the yoke on. It looked real bad and I figured it would snap on the first few bales but I least I wouldn't go down with a fight.
I kept the RPM's low and I waited for it to break. And I waited. And it never broke. Whatever that PTO shaft was made if made it happen since there was no way it could have baled much of anything--let alone 2200 bales. Maybe the 2200 prayers helped.
