Can a 30HP Tractor Run a John Deere 14T Baler?? | Bailing hay 

My grandfather ran a 200 acre farm with an International W4 and Allis B. My Father and I ran our own farm plus 2 other 100 acre farms with a Cockshutt 30 and BF Minneapolis and neither were never short of horsepower. Dad even ran a Case 1 row corn harvester with the Cockshutt. Don't ever underestimate the power of small tractors!

No problem, we have have a 14T and we always used a Minneapolis Moline Z. Sometimes a John Deere B when my 8 year old sister was driving.

Nice to see the baler working.

The 14T with the Wisconsin Robin engine was probably only 14HP back in the day. Grandfather had one. Worked awesome.

Nathan thanks for showing that it can be done with small equipment like our fathers or grandfather did.

A great video of a young man learning about haying. The ol 14T performed like I remember. Missing an occasional bale, almost picking up all of the hay, vibrating the pto when you make the curves. Hopefully you found most of the grease zerts and the knotters keep functioning. Don't break any needles and have a sack of shear pins. Check the oil in the gear box. Good luck.

We baled for 10 years with our 1941 John Deere B (18hp) and the 14T. Worked fine. Heavy windrows you went slower.

A 3032E is overkill!* We pull our NH 66 with an 8N or 2025R (both basically the same power) and the Deere handles it great. */s, actually probably a pretty great size for a small baler, the 2025 is about the minimum I’d want to use for a light old ~2k lb baler running at 70 strokes a minute.

Ran ours in a pinch with an Allis Chalmers CA with a wagon behind on fairly level fields.

I know an old vid, but I've been haying with a Kioti 2510 (24hp PTO) and a NH 315 baler for 2 years now (about 1500 bales per year).. Hays just as well as anything else, and the 315 is bigger than this 14T.

I've run a baler with a 78 hp tractor using the 1000 rpm P.T.O . with the tractor engine running about 1100 rpm to get the required 540 rpm P.T.O. speed. No issues at all (Mind you that wasn't doing any hill climbing!)

Thanks bud for this video, you did a great job! Im looking at a 14t to buy for a grand. The guy said its the best baler he ever owned, he’s selling because hes too old to keep haying. I plan to bale mostly straw. Have you baled straw with your 14t? God Bless You Too!

Turn that tractor off when doing anything with the PTO man

Cool old baler.

If you want a low HP tractor, I used run an A pulling a 214w baler, plus a haystack that we foll6

Vim através do America Rural :)

I ran our 14t with our jd 870.it ran the baler with no issues.

Great video, but I'd rather hear that equipment operating than that "music." Just a thought.

Ya missed a bunch of hay in there, buddy.

Any tractor can run any equipment if people take there time and slow down hell ive killed a many of 200 horse power deeres pulling 7 and 8 shank plows u can even overload big tractors

lose the "music"

If it don"t run it better check you tractor farmal H only had 19 and runs 14 and 24t baler fine

That baler almost out weighs that tractor

Should np a 224t requires 20 to run it.. I got 3 jd balers

Looks like you need to work on raking more than baling.
