He Mounted Low-Cost Duals On New Holland 855 Baler
Dale L. Williams, Maple, Wis.: "We mounted low-cost duals on our 1992 New Holland 855 baler.

He Mounted Low-Cost Duals On New Holland 855 Baler HAY & FORAGE HARVESTING Balers (6) 20-6-32 Dale L. Williams, Maple, Wis.: "We mounted low-cost duals on our 1992 New Holland 855 baler. It makes heavier, 1,800-lb. bales than the early New Holland 850 we had before so it had more of a tendency to bog down in wet fields. We'd seen duals used on balers before so we decided to see what we could come up with on our own.
"We discovered that the 13-in. wheel rims off an old Escort car fit perfectly in-side the baler rims so we used them for spacers. We used 1-ft. threaded rods for the long bolts to attach the car rims to the baler's. We then fitted the rims with tires off one of our hay wagons. They're only 1/2-in. shorter in height than the baler's tires so they're ideal for adding flotation on wet ground. Plus, we've found they add stability to the baler, which is rather narrow and squat, on dry ground. We put the duals on three years ago and haven't taken them off since. By this time, many of our neighbors are running duals on their balers, too."
