can my case 801 handle...

[Larkin]

Im farming alfalfa with my case 801b. Always contracted cutting/bailing.

Can I run a gehl 1460 4x5 800 pound rounds?

Will my hydraulic system be strong enough for tying/ ejecting

Also, I have tricycle set up. Bought a wide front to swap out, but wondering if I can just bail the alfafa tim grass mix with the tri.

Will the hay get crushed/wet?

Switch to a wide front. When the hay dries running it over will knock the leaves off and that's the nutrients. I use my 530 to now and my 801 to bale, works good but you need to keeps the throttle up.

Thats good info thanks.

The wide front I bought seems frozen up.

Ideas?

The wheels spin free. But I cant move the linkage, or the pivots/
tubes.

How should I attack it?

I'd try getting some solvent and grease onto the spindles first. Dried grease responds very well to PB Blaster. Shoot it in with a grease gun.
