Baling with a CUT

   / Baling with a CUT #11  
I would have a talk with your dealer or company rep on this. In addition to the weight & torq issues mentioned:

An old square baler needs only 15-17 hp to keep baling. But their power needs are in a pulse - that plunger pushing back & forth - and so they store around 50 hp in that big spinning flywheel. So, you are in a situation where you only need a constant 15 hp to operate the baler, but the baler itself can back-feed or stress the tractor with a 50 hp load. (Yea, over-running clutches & stuff, it's not that simple, but the basic issue is still there....)

Many compact tractors are not built heavy enough to deal with this shock load of the big flywheel, and warrenties do not cover square baler use, etc.

However, your tractor is on the larger end of a CUT, and it may work fine for you. I'd just clear it with the manufaturer that the internal driveline is built heavy enough for a square baler.
