I borrowed my business partner's traditional baler this year and hooked it up on the back of my tractor, crossed my fingers and drove down the rowed up hay. I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, thanks for lending it to me Pritch. It didn't miss a beat in the 70 bales it made. Mike Thorney- Shaw made 34 large round bales too, so not a bad yield for such a dry summer.
