I too did the impossible yesterday. I tried out my L2650 using a New Holland 268 baler. This was my first experience with a baler on any tractor, so I have a question or two. My tractor RPM's are at approx. 2300 when the PTO reaches 540. The fellow helping me out yesterday had me run the tractor at about 1500 RPM while baling. Does this sound too slow? I guess you shoot for a certain plunger speed? Maybe a little less than 60 strokes per minute?
The tractor did fine, the engine did loose a little RPM's when the plunger stroked, but not much at all. I was worried about the tractor being jerked around, but that was not an issue at all.
