[QUOTE="1982vett, post: 578064, member: 7795"] Kind of track the numbers game also, course I used to use a 410 John Deere baler and had to manualy control the twine arm (never could get the flow control to work). 20-21 seconds to tie a 4x5. And no, constant flow does not tie a properly with a single arm. You have to start out slow and speed up as the arm comes across. I might not understand exactlly which revolutions you are counting. Tractor pto rpms are probably constant ratio (pto turn one revolution, chains belts and everything on the bale moves [i]X[/i] distance, reguardless of engine speed. You mention 4 minutes to bale a bale and 20 seconds to tie. We all know volume of hay can change the 4 minutes but for argument sake and easy calculations lets use 4 minutes to roll to tieing size as an average on your 30,000 bales and lets use 24 seconds to tie the bale. 4x60=240 seconds, now you know why I want to use 24 seconds to tie. it equals 10% of your rpms. 10% of 30,000 bales is 3000 bales not 1140. More numbers to think about. :cry: 3000 bales @ $25 a bale is 2 haybalers. [/QUOTE]
