“Does a Massey Harris 44 operate well on a hay baler?!?!”
Judge by yourself in the video!
The main peculiarity to observe here is that the Massey Harris 44 is NOT equipped with a continuous pto which would allow Mr. Michaud to modulate his tractor speed without causing his hay baler to stop.
However, the tractor is equipped with a rather unusual option: A second clutch, operated by a long lever on the arm, allows the right wheel (!!) to be disengaged from the differential. By activating this lever, the wheels therefore stop moving forward while the hay baler continues to turn.
Note that pressing this lever does not allow to change gears.
