[AJD] 214 Baler

[Steve Treimer]

Kevin,
definitely run in with your R, you have live PTO on it, but I'm not sure whether the M does or not.  Besides, the R sips fuel if I remember right.  I would guess the 214 to take much more umph than the 14T.  I was running dad's IH 46 baler last night with the 730D, and strangely I find it to work much better than the 6 cyl. IH 666 that I used a couple weeks ago.  The 730 just thumps along just merrily and I have yet to plug the baler, but using the 666, it plugged several times.  Don't really understand while the 730 works better, but I'm saving fuel to boot!

I suppose I could run it with the R. Am always worried about putting
too much load on the PTO gears, but I assume the baler is faily steady
and it will not see much in terms of shock load.

Anything I ought to know about the 214. It comes with a half dozen
spools of wire. Needs all those little oiler lines, other than that
it is supposed to work well.
