Unveiling John Deere's 561R Hay Baler & W235R Windrower. Cutting-Edge Features & More! FarmCast Ep28

Thanks for the video! Excited about the new features. 1:34 “….put us back in gear”. From the 461R/561R Manual: "Tractor Ground Speed-Automatically stops the tractor when the bale starts the wrapping cycle. (Does not automatically start the tractor, that is operator controlled.)” I hope you’re correct, but I worry that the tractor will need to be manually started after the bale kicks out. Build code 3900 does say Baler Automation (Gate Cycle Open/Close + Tractor Start/Stop) which brings hope. Is anyone using baler automation that can weigh in on Tractor Start with an IVT?

I bought one to find out. After bale ejection, forward movement needs to be initiated by the operator, then it quickly accelerates to whatever speed you have set.
