460 gas

Tyler Jackson · Oct 20, 2010

In the search for the next tractor I've run upon a 460 gas. Do you guys think it would be big enough to run a bailer? I would assume so but I just wanna be sure. Also besides gas consumption is there any major issues with these? Thanks for any answers

We baled about 30,000 bales a year for about 12 years with a 460. We pulled the rack behind the baler with up to 165 bales per load on rolling ground.

A 460 is a lot easier on gas than a 560.

A good 450 will do more work.

if your talking square bales, no problem at all.not that bad on gas either.

What do you mean by "a baler?" There are many different balers on the market, from small square to giant round.

Pulling a wagon? Flat fields or hills?

A 460 would run most small square balers, and pull a small hay wagon on flat ground.

A 460 gas should pull a small square baler and normal sized hay rack on all but the steepest of hills.

Yup, it would benefit the board if you posted what type baler. Just so happens I spotted a Farmall 460 gasser yesterday. I swung around to peek at the fenders; no one around, nuts. The old girl sat there a little sad looking with a beat up grill, but it had a large round baler in tow.
