I did that kind of thing with my 4020 and 24T baler.

I always used the Farmall 404 to bale hay just fine. On the very day I had to bale around 1000 bales, the 404 developed carburetor problems.

SO, I went to put the fuel hog to work (barely to work) on the 24T baler. Kept snapping shear pin after shear pin. Half throttle made it worse. Slower gear only allowed a little bit more time before a pin would break.

I DIDN'T have the bales packed any tighter, NOR did I have the windrows any larger than I would normally do.

There's just something about brute strength and raw, unused horsepower that changes the whole physics of drawn implements.

My old Farmall H would be hammering away on all 4 cylinders pulling my angled disk and never break anything on the disk. Went to hook the 2640 up to it one day and all of a sudden I'm having broken disks and a bearing out on the left side.

Guess it doesn't pay to have too much horsepower not only because of fuel costs, but that your IMPLEMENTS NO LONGER LIKE YOU!
