My 45 diesel went down raking hay so I ended up using my D15 to finish raking and then hooked it up to my International 37 square baler. Seeing as the pto hp of the two was fairly close, I thought it would work out and it did just fine. Baled most of it in 1st high, as the baler wanted to clog up in 2nd low. I just dropped the bales in the field and came back with the wife and the wagon and loaded them up that way.

My baler also has a thrower which I haven't put back on until I got the baler working good which it didn't miss a knot in the last 40 bales after I did some adjustments. Question is can I put the thrower back on and pull a wagon with the D15 or is that asking too much of the old girl. Ground is fairly level, maybe 5% grade at the most front to back so half of the rows will be going uphill. I have one more field that I am going to bale and I am just going to do everything with the D15 until I'm done. If you guys thinks it's too much, I'll just drop the bales again and give the wife some seat time and stack them again by hand. Probably won't be more then 100 bales in the wagon as that's all I got off the other field and it's about the same size.

That should be no problem. I've baled many a load with a series II D15.

I used a D14 on a New Holland 273 with a thrower, and filled 9x16 cages with no problem. I have a few small hills, maybe 10% grade tops.

Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives.
