Is my Mahindra 3616 large enough to safety use a Case 8420 round baler? There is a used baler for sale near me I would consider if the tractor can handle it. Currently use the tractor with a NH S68 square baker, but getting tired of picking them up.
The tractor, loader, and me onboard will weigh around 3400 pounds and has 31 PTO HP. The baler is around 2900 pounds. So with a 550 pound roll, it should come in a little below 3500 pounds. The baler supposedly needs 30 HP minimum and makes a 39" by 52" bale.
Any issue with using the hydraulics for the FEL curl function for the baler.
We do have hills, so I already have some spots that I go uphill only when pulling a load.
Thanks for any info.
