Just purchased a "New to Us" EZ Trail Hay Basket. We have a basket that we modified years ago by removing part of the front panel and the chute, and kicked the bales into the basket instead of using a chute. This process has worked well for several years, but have been thinking that before we chop up the new basket for the kicker, we would get some input on using the basket as is with the chute instead of the kicker. What are the disadvantages of the chute, and how well does it work in corners. With the kicker, we are able to continue baling around corners are just pointing the kicker as we turn. Have heard stories of not being able to bale in corners with the chute, and problems keeping the bale density consistent with the chute loading the basket. Any input would be appreciated.
