[QUOTE="dyates, post: 519345, member: 7137"] Most of the newer rollers have adjustable tension settings. We have a Vermeer 505 Super I that will bale those tight heavy bales if you crank up the tension. There is also a relationship between ground speed, windrow size, and bale weight. If you rake up a jumbo windrow, you have to drive slower to make a bale that weighs the same. I personally detest the aggravation of the super heavy rolls, so we cranked the pressure down to produce rolls in the 1000 pound range. I have noticed a problem starting rolls in hay if its too wet, so I would have to question the ability of this machine to roll sileage. [/QUOTE]
