In Reply to: 530 baler posted by James on Wednesday, July 07, 2004:
Here is the power consumption requirements for a 535 baler so probably about the same for the 530:
Power Consumption: Peak power requirements were about 50 hp (38 kW) in hay on level fields at high workrates. A 75 hp (56 kW) tractor was suggested by the manufacturer to fully utilize baler capacity on soft and hilly fields. The specific capacity of the John Deere 535 was 0.53 ton/hp-h (0.65 t/kW-h) in alfalfa at an instantaneous workrate of 17.8 ton/h (16.1 t/h) with twine wrapped high density bales. The specific capacity was 0.62 ton/hp-h (0.76 t/kWh) in alfalfa at an instantaneous workrate of 20.4 ton/h (18.5 t/h) with net wrapped high density bales.
