Years ago I traded for a beat up old New Holland 68 baler. After screwing around with the Wisconsin engine for a few years I took a risk and switched it over to PTO drive, even though everyone assured me there was NO WAY I could run it without a tractor with live PTO. Well, you can and it's easy. You just have to have your head in gear is all, same for a haybine. Anyway, I made new slides for the plunger, put new pickup teeth on it and a few knotter parts. It did good with the 800 Ford. Had to feed it like it was going to choke up, but it worked okay. The other day I stuck the DB990 on it and decided to try for the 50-60 strokes a minute I was told to run it at by an old timer. That old girl did 400 bales and never missed a beat. I could have done more but the help was wearing out in the heat and humidity and the boy still has a lot to learn about raking so it took a lot longer than it should have. The live PTO on the DB makes things easier, but it's the gearing that makes the difference.
I'm a happy camper with some real nice hay in the barn. I may even paint the old girl up I'm so happy with her!

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
