I wouldn't worry to much about 560 so long as you adhere to what others have said. In my day I have baled many thousands of bales towing wagon and using thrower. My baling over the years was done with 300, 560 and 656. As each new tractor came along the older one was retited from baling. All great baling tractors.

The larger tractors could have done it also, we apparently just never got that well organized again. The 8,000 bales in two days was also a case of 5 teenage boys, proving to the old man, things would get done even when he was away on vacation. He came home in the middle of the operation and was about ready to tar and feather the lot of us. I especially, being the oldest.
