The Gehl round baler accessory that wasn't (video)....

[Absent Minded Farmer]

Really don't know anything about this attachment, except it would seem like it was in development right when Gehl abandoned the ag line. The video itself is jumpy & there is no audio. But.... it's really neat to see something like this that did not make it to fruition. We're lucky this vid didn't end up on the dumpster!

Enjoy!

Sure is interesting I’m not sure coming from a Vermeer person the belt drive too seems crazier to me than the spinning feed wheels but maybe that’s how all gehls were. He’s moving right along at a fantastic speed

don't remember seeing those when i worked for Gehl. I left fall of 1996. that baler was out then so maybe they came out with this after I had left. We did have the rubber wheels on each side as an option to sweep the wide windrows into the pickup. they seemed to work ok when i was testing.

The rubber wheels worked good & they could feed in quite a bit of hay that usually tumbled off to the side.

I'll have to get a hold of Terry & see what he says about the Power Sweep.

Are the Vermeers chain drive?

Looks a lot more complicated than the rubber wheels that seemed to work pretty good for me. May be why we didn't see the power wheels.

I'd wager the price tag was a little more than the rubber wheels, too.

Making the pickup 2 feet wider and putting augers on the side seemed to be the mainstream solution. I did like how crossing a windrow was a clean cut.

I bought a two wheel windrow turner that I was going to mount on the front of the tractor for windy days. I never got it put on though.

Up until a year ago, there was a Vicon two wheel rake here. Couldn't find too much information on it. Did see a brochure that showed it front mounted or mounted between the tractor & baler. Never used it & there was no interest, so it got scrapped.

There were a ton of the 4 wheel Vicon rakes at one point here, MF badged engineered ones too. A pair of two wheeled ones would make a nice V to feed a baler.
