Alright, so I went out and measured, and here is what I have come up with!
The wagon is currently 12'3" center to center of axle.
The single chute on my baler is 3 feet long
Here is what I think I could do to make a nice wagon:
If I shorten up the current running gear to 8 foot, center to center of axles. Then put a 12 foot deck on top of that with an even, 2 foot hang over on each end (or thereabouts).
The drawbar on the wagon is nearly 6 feet long, and that is too long, but, here is what I found. If I was to chop it off at about 42 inches long, then built an end for it, the bale chute on the baler wouldn't quite make it past the edge of the deck on the bale wagon, that is only if my height AND length measurements were correct!!! If I did this, I would think that the first 4-5 inches of the bale would easily be on the deck, before it over-centered on the chute and fell off, thus being very easy for who ever is staking to grab the bale. What do you guys think? Bryce

And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
