Read articles →A working field video from a self-described beginner showing his first serious session with a new John Deere 450E round baler pulled by a New Holland PowerStar 75. Covers the monitor display, twine-wrap settings, bale-size alerts, the back-up-before-ejecting sequence, and mistakes he made early on. Light on specs and deep analysis, but useful for other newcomers to this specific baler who want to see real learning-curve moments in action.
An owner-operator channel run by a retired shop teacher sharing first-hand, beginner-level impressions from his own farm.
The baler has to get out of the way so the gate can close without hitting the bale, so you pull forward 6 to 8 feet before dropping the gate.
Two beeps around 52-54 inches is a size warning, a long beep means it is tying automatically, and four beeps means the bale is ready to eject.
The baler bales a maximum of 60 inches tall and 46 inches wide, and in the video it was set to about 58 inches tall.
The tractor has about 50 hours on it and the owner says he loves it, noting it has a hydraulic PTO that is easy to engage.
