[AT] right turn while baling

[cecil bearden]

  I have the same problem with my round baler.  it had the cv joint 
shaft replaced with a conventional u joint.  I usually get the corner 
rows, then the outside rows, then if there is rows in strips I get every 
3 or 4th one.  Since I have a pull type swather and my neck is really 
bad, I just go around the field.  so i get the turn rows first then just 
go areound the field.
