Kevin. My baler was a International 42 (?). It runs off a 540 rpm power takeoff on my tractor and that give me about 1 revolution per second or 60 rev/min.TomC

That works if you got the equipment drivers, probbly more heavy duty , what do you think on the electric motor bailer chunkers, they seem too work good allso.I gess about 40 too one after the pullys reduction ,seems too work on gear box too electric motor.
