[QUOTE="Texasmark, post: 1477061, member: 27848"] 55hp won't do with a 530. I had one and a JD 4230DC (100 PTO) and it would start talking to the tractor after passing 5.5' diameter. On a 2/12 pitched incline it would start talking at around 4'. Tractor was under 4000 hrs and in pristeen condition as was the baler for it's age. Currently doing 5x4s with a JD 375 (rolls a 5x6 but is full at 5x4) and a nearly new 65 hp (57 PTO) and it starts grunting around 3.5. On a volumetric basis take a 5x6 (JD 530) at 141, a 4x6 (430) comes in at 113 and my 5x4 (375) comes in at 63, all things being equal otherwise...moisture, density, crop type......so sir, I think you are underpowered for your aspirations.
