You weren't stopping, you would slip the power director lever just enough to slow the feed of hay, 7 seconds to wrap the bale with twine, kick lever back as you eject the bale, start the next. Only used brakes on hills, not much slower than square baling.
Main attraction then as now, with round bales is twofold. First, they are waterproof, baling to beat a rain, and your bales are undamaged, if they get wet. Second, the round baler, then, as now, wraps up the entire hay stem, in a circle, whereas the square baler cuts a percentage of the hay, on each compression stroke. The additional cut ends in each flake of hay, subtracts from animal palatability, which would you eat, that which sticks stems into your nose, or that which you can stick your nose into, and lap up, with no end stems to slow you down?
I ran a white top baler, for 2-3 seasons, yes they are a trick to get to know, but I consider them good training, for the Hesston I use now.
Last season I used it, was a real droughty year, had little or no hay, so I baled up a neighbor's field of foxtail. I baled the field, took the ATV with a snowplow, and pushed up groups of 10-15 bales, then loaded into dump truck, Still got a picture of that 73 ford loaded up with an almost unbelievable stack of 'em!
