[AT] right turn while baling

We never were big hay farmers, so all the tiny fields and patches around
the house were planted in grass instead of field crops--bigger fields
left for bigger equipment and long rows. That said, most of my hay
fields are small requiring short and frequent turns. That was no problem
with the old engine driven Super 66 New Holland. Now that I am running a
PTO drive machine, tight turns are a bit of a headache. One of the
fields is so irregular shaped it was even difficult to navigate with the
66. What I am doing if the turnaround is real tight is to throw the
baler out of gear, get lined up on the next windrow, and restart the
baler. If I could skip a couple windrows when turning I don't think it
would be a problem. How short can you guys turn to the right while
baling without the driveshaft raising too much fuss? Wondering if I have
a mechanical issue, driveshaft does seem tight and well greased.
