I had a 1957 720 diesel and ran a mow con and then 214T baler with it in the 80’s. Put up a lot of hay with that rig. Did most of my raking with a 1950 B.
I grew up on a dairy farm in PA I spent lots of time riding and stacking hay and straw on a flat wagon behind a 730 diesel and 14t. It's a little different loading a flat wagon on Pennsylvania's hills
Im 62 yrs old....spent many days behind the 24 T baler...... 2000 bales a day..... common ! I still bale over 4000 bales a year...only a newer baler. I noticed this guy on the wagon.....pulling the bales up and out of the shoot.. I learned early on....allow the bale to come to you.....dont pull it out of the chamber / shoot ! Wasted energy ! Also the bales are much more firm because of the extra pressure of the bale still in the shoot ! No need for a bale hook !
There is no sound that screams " Summertime" like a "Johnny popper" with a hay baler hammering away behind it. Those sounds carry a mile on a quiet , hot summer day .
It's a 2 acre, triangular field. We have learned to do a couple of rounds on the outsides and then just do rows on the rest. The 35 degree angle at one corner is just too tight to try and make this a round and round field. But I'm impressed that you noticed!
