Looks like that ole chain baler does a mighty fine job. Who said you have to spend $30,000 on a baler to make good bales?

Yes, your bales have great shape. Nice baling pictures. Thanks for sharing. I'm getting ready to round bale in a day or two with my 7060. Your 7060 looks like it's tires are set-in(60" center tread?). When baling with it, do you need to weave (left side, right side, etc) to get round bale evenly feed? If yes, then do tires run down hay windrow some? I'm getting ready to set my 7060's tires wider so it doesn't run down hay when baling. Maybe I'm thinking wrong cause your field looks clean after baled.

Thanks for looking everyone! The 855 chain baler does do a good job and the Allis 7060 PS is a dream to pull balers with. What you can't see in the first pic is the big valley in that field to the right side of picture that extra horsepower really makes a big difference! The second pic are the bales from the 855! The last picture are the bales out of the new to dad 2011 BR7060 belt baler with the crop cutter rotor and knives in it. Dad said the 7060 knows it is back there, it weighs about 6500lbs empty and minimum horsepower is 100 pto hp! The tractor is set at 60" center for row crops. The windrows you do have to do a little zig zagging depending on the rake job! The newer baler has 84" wide pickup head feeding into a 48" rotor so it doesn't miss much hay and the zig zagging is very minimal!

For everyone who thinks Ohio is flat, they should visit Waverly area, and some others. Nice pictures, I used to live fairly nearby. Thanks for the memories!
