Will my massey ferguson 1085 run this

[Redneck8888]

I have a Massey Ferguson 1085 69 hp drawbar 82hp pto will this run a John Deere 530 round baler? If I have to I will make smaller bales. Any information would be appreciated.

Shouldn't be a problem at all, even with full size bales.

I had a MF 285 which has the same engine as the 1085 (318 cu.). The 530 makes a 5x6 bale which is a big bale. The 1085 should handle it good. In hilly ground with a full bale it will be a load.

I don't think you will have any issues... what is your terrain like? The only issue you may run into is if you are on any steep hills.

Should be fine power wise. if you have hills you might want to add some front weights as they can get light in the front end. wheel weights wouldnt hurt either, would give a little more stability in the hills.

Thanks for the reply I will bale in moderate hilly country and I do have the cast wheels on the front.

It will do just fine.,
