zleinenbach Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 On a new holland 560 baker, what is an acceptable hp range for the tractor pulling it? It says 90 on their website, but on the ground testimonials around here say closer to 130-140. anyone have any insight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1466fan Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I got a 660. I have pulled it with 85 horse in a bind. It'll work but pulls it hard. Usually have the 1486 on it and it pulls it good. I see that's a newer one though. Thought you were asking about a 650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thesd5488 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have a 565 case Ih think it’s same as new Holland 560. I got 350 pto hp on it wouldn’t want a lot less if you want to drive I’m sure a 100 hp will pull it but be slow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1480x3 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Pull mine with my Magnum 275, but my 4020 would do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandhiller Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have a NH 7090 that my 966 pulled just fine before the 1486 spoilt me 😄 Hilly and soft ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Dinan Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I have a NH 658 and in a bind I’ve pulled it with the Hydro 86, but usually it’s on the 3688. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZG6E Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 If you have flat ground 100 hp will handle it just fine but if you have hills and want to use the capacity of the baler I wouldn't want less than 140-150. My 186 used to fall flat on it's face before I put the turbo on and turned the fuel up. 1086 was a pretty nice match turned up just a little.

zleinenbach Posted January 15 Author Share Posted January 15 I have a 1066, I assume to use the monitors and all, all I really need is hydraulics and to get 12volts up to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gearclash Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 1066 will be adequate. Be sure the tractor harness for the baler is connected directly to 12 volts at the batteries using clean hardware and snug connections. #1 netwrap system problem on all brands of balers is usually a poor 12v power supply. Do not under any circumstances use the convenience plug that New Holland provides. It won’t pass adequate power to support the actuators. I pull one of my two 560s with a 115 pto hp rated CIH. I’ve never run it out of power. The 5.9 will grunt a little at times but never runs out of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
