[QUOTE="LauraleesFarm, post: 1261935, member: 14261"] With the Vermeer baler we used to have, the tension was adjustable. The John Deere 9 series baler we are using now is not at all adjustable, for the tension. It is set by the computer within the baler. So far that has not been a problem. The JD definitely has been a better baler. The one drawback being, you can't adjust the tension! Secondly, regarding the 4 x 6 being really a 4 x 5.5 -- What I am saying is that even though a 4 x 6 baler will make a bale that measures 4 wide and 6 tall, most baler guys set the baler to only make it 5.5 tall instead of 6. That seems to be the way it is done around here. I am told that the reason is that it puts too much strain on the tractor to get that last 6" on the bale. [/QUOTE]
