[QUOTE="cowtrek, post: 456680, member: 2847"] Best advice I can give you for squarebaling cornstalks ("stocks?") is to make sure your shearbar and plunger knife are tight and razor sharp and the stuff is as dry as you can get it, and quit baling when it gets too damp. When they're good and dry they nearly snap but when they get damp they're as tough as an old shoe. You have to be mighty motivated to small bale cornstalks as they generally aren't worth the trouble, and you're going to have SO much fun picking the dirty dusty abrasive things up and stacking them. Tougher guy than I am :) If it were me I'd just round bale them and call it good. Quicker, easier, and cheaper all things considered, but that's just me. Good luck!! OL JR :) [/QUOTE]
