killing two birds with one stone out in oz

gud idea

[MODELFARMER]

Nice

I wanna stack bales

[Simon]

That's the way to clear a field! Didn't watch all of it so didn't notice, were the balers driven by a donkey engine or off the combine? Presume off a donkey engine?

[nashmach]

:o

That looks to be some operation and nice gear

[BGU]

Forget the combines - how about collecting the bales at that speed!!

You can't always hit them correctly to turn them 90 degrees surely?

[Tractorman810]

ok clever idea, but how does he know if theres a prob with the baller for one,  like a bust twine or blockage, they dont look donky engine drive from the side shots i can see,but there doesnt look to be any pick up for the baller as i cant see straw on the floor between them either, would it be possible to power a baler of say the choppers parts at the back  and into the baller via a conveyor

[BGU]

MGU thinks the bale collector is awesome!! :o

He just tried it with his Siku Fendt Combine and big Krone baler - It tows it but the rear wheels of the combine are off the ground! :D

Great video. Never seen this  before.

what happens if the baler catches fire    \ that would be hell of a loss  \

could cope the tractor if they were to spin in front of it!!!

I was gonna say this is old news....!

I bet the chaser bin driver has to be on his toes, you don't want a hesston bale dropping in your path as you just floor it to catch the next combine do you??!

[CJ]

this was in profi a while ago i think the balers are driven from the combines hydraulics and there is a shock absorbing drawbar running upto the combine's front axle.

i think he means could the tractor cope if the bale were to spin infront of the tractor

Same way as you do on a standard trailed baler      The computer tells you

Not like the good old days when you had to watch everything from the cab

As for powering the baler    Can't quite work it out as if it was powered by the combine it would eat up too much power as they need about 150 horses on a tractor

and as for donkey engine, can't see one dut that may be a fuel tank on the back of the baler unless it is an additive tank \

[Pingu]

Having read this somewere before if a remember rightly the balers are driven off a large hydraulic motor on the combine, and if i can remember right the combine is fitted with a larger engine to cope with this.  I could proberly be wrong but think thats how its done ???

[Simon]

I just can't see how anything other than a proper mechanical drive would be up to it.

Big balers take a lot of driving. It COULDN'T be driven of any existing combine drive, all the belt driven equipment or low volume hydraulic ancilliaries would not be anywere near man enough to drive it, probably even to turn it over empty!

Those HD PTO's are there for a reason!!

cheers scott, didnt know they fitted that stuff to balers now, always used to cranking the head round and listining for weird grinding noises when it went wrong in my day :D

no not that ,if you look its in bold

There appears to be an air cleaner and possibly an exhaust on top of the baler, so presumably it has an engine fitted somewhere, but I can't work out quite where.

[Pingu]

Went looking just now and found the article in october 2007 profi magazine and the baler is driven by a bigger hydraulic motor off the combine which has been fitted with a bigger deutz engine case settled :D

I don't think either the combines or the balers are overworked on the straw side......

That's true, not exactly heavy cropping is it!
