Bale direct running in corn.

[dfostertuthill]

We use a hydrostatic drive pump mounted on the combine and then remove the PTO on the baler, replacing it with a hydraulic motor that is driven by the pump installed on the combine.

How do you power the baler? Hydraulics?

[dfostertuthill]

Not at all, perfectly dry.

[mattjohndeere4455]

weren't the bales wet?

[dfostertuthill]

Yes, we used a Hesston 2170 baler with the John Deere 9870 combine.

[colderweather3]
