Towing a small square baler

[flusher]

Too bad it wasn't one of these...you could just drive it back!

Or one like this



My neighbor bales his 30-acre alfalfa field with this baby (a 3-twine New Holland baler, diesel-powered, hydraulic motor drive on the front wheel). He bought it in Fresno and towed it with his Ford van about 300 miles North to his place. His biggest problem was driving over the Sacramento River bridge on I5. Pretty hairy.

And? ..............

Just putting an accurate number on it just to clarify Gary's "more than half the weight of your truck" statement.

That's quite a beast, Flusher! I always find it quite interesting to see all the variations of machines and equipment that are done. Thanks for those pics.
