I once heard someone say that Vermeer makes the best, Hesston the tightest, and John Deere the most expensive. :lol:

Two issues I see here:

1. Hay may be too dry and slips on the build up. A common occurence. Bale at 12% and you should be ok.

2. Run your baler at a slower turn rate. This allows more friction so the bale will continue to "eat" the hay you feed into the core.

I did some custom work last year that gave me all your probs. Slow down the feed rate - NOT your tractor speed.

it will bale a half a bale and then it will spit out the hay after that

by "spit the hay out" do you mean kick it back out the front or do mean it leaves hay behind you even though you can see a partial bale turning in the baler? maybe the gate is not latching?

Besides baling it with more moisture and lowering your PTO speed, you might also try picking up a couple of gears and baling a little faster. Low 1st is really slow, no matter what kind of tractor you're running. Try crowding it more and see what happens.
