What happens when the crop is SO heavy that the balers are pretty much joined as they come out?

@hvguy Oh, I meant "years old" It is like "new" 4 us 2! LOL. Don't know what N.H. has for kickers now a days, but the J.D. "pan style" I think works way better (more control) than the belts the NH had years ago, ya might like that change 2. The NH I used as a kid in the 70's I think made the bales for the donkey Jesus rode into town on! Sort of had an "art deco" look to it. Take care.

@MaizeValleyWinery oldish? our hayliner from NH was made in the late 80's lol, it made badass bales until somebody sabotaged it...
planning on fixing it then buying this commercial JD, we'll see though.

@hvguy Been over 20 yrs. but I thought the NH had one that was "perpendicular" to the pto shaft and it sort of "passed through" the flywheel with shear bolts making the connection? The J.D. one runs 90 degrees to that via a gearbox that connects it to the pto driveline. The kicker pump is down and behind and belt driven via a double groove belt that goes around the flywheel and to a hyd. pump. Baler in vid. is 6-8 yrs. "oldish" 40-60K bales/yr. very little problems.
Okay, here is a question: Does the thrower get hydraulic fluid from the tractor or does it have its own supply?
Thanks and great video.

@wcox4 The baler has its own reseviour,pump and control system and is independent from the tractor for purposes of "kicking" the bale. You do have controls for aiming the pan which use the tractors hyd. system. You also have hyd. from tractor for taking in and out of road or field postion for transport. Thanks! This video has gotten a lot of comments, appreciate the props!

If it gets that thick we usually just drop it down a gear till the kicker can keep up. You can also adjust your tension if the crop is dry enough to the bales don't "scoot" so much with each plunger stroke.
