Dick: Not going to hurt the tractor, he is using it as it was designed. I wouldn't give a lot of attention to the guys suggesting you not use the TA that much. Much better using it like that than cowboying with it or running it out of adjustment. I know a guy ran his TA equiped tractor out of adjustment for years, then bad mouthed TA. I suppose no tractor would ever wear if we didn't use them. My first thoughts on this, how are the adjustments on the baler. I've never run a NH wire tie, but do have a lot of experience with NH twine baler. When I say adjustments, I'm thinking plunger settings and plunger knife condition. My experience is if plunger and knife are in good condition and the material being baled is dried well, you cant get enough material through that pickup to cause a 300 much sweat in 3rd gear. With those NH pickups that is one H@$$ of a lot of material. I've seen enough material going through there you never saw a pickup bar or tooth. In my days of baling with 300 and NH S-69, the only reason for using TA was wet material, rough ground, poor or uneven windrows or just pickup couldn't handle volume. New Holland balers will make good 30" bales making 3 plunger strokes to the bale. Remember I didn't say excellent bales. Baling is not a building block competition. It's about harvesting the crop when the weather is good. My bet is dull plunger knife is the cause for 300 bellowing.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
