Re: Will Dexta handle baler?

haylage depends on crop and weather - i try and mow, row+ bale.
i have a small bale wrapper -it will bale small rounds up to 3` dia or conventional bales,
i think dexta will struggle with the haylage!

Re: Will Dexta handle baler?

hi ben, i like the 370, it bales fast and over the 7 yrs it barley thrown a bale dexta will bale on a flat field as long as you have a light, well dried crop. i also make haylage with it - using the 5610 - mow, leave 1 day - row +bale day 2. i still think the 46 made a more even bale - perhaps i jus...

Re: Will Dexta handle baler?

i used my std dexta on the old ih 46 baler for years with no real issues.
this was only on the flatter of fields, and the dexta was live drive!!
these days i have a nh370 and tend to favour my 5610, but do use the power major at times.
happy haymaking, rich.

super - stuck handbrake?

hi all,
just added a rough `61 super to the fleet,
rear wheels are both stuck solid - first guess was hand break plates?
any other ideas ?
if it is the plates how many individual plates are there, and i guess the all need to be free from each other??

hi, yes used a haybob copy (zaga)on my `62 dexta for the last few yrs.
my fields are steep, so carefully done!
straight up/down only!!
these days i tend to use the major,
still use dexta on the baler on the flatter fields .
