something odd. didn't you read the OP?

[Panzer94]

Same exact thing happened to me.

[The Big Brzezinski]

Did OP expect an even thing to happen instead?

[RONALD.SMITH17]

didnt think i would get replys. also for some reason giants made it where harvesters to hook up to balers yet when i tryed it it didnt work

[Lord Nighthawk]

Because the hook is just there for to pull the header trailer for the harvester itself. It has no hydraulic or pto supply and only connectors for the lights of the trailer.

There is by design nothing that could power an attached machine.

In real life it is very unlikely that harvesters / combines have a power take-off https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_take-off - so what you see in YouTube FS25 gameplay videos with a baler attached to a combine, it is a modified (and unrealistic) baler and/or combine - i.e. mods.

Though you can get some kind of "the same ability" by using the 'Snüfelstück' mod that is available on the official Farming Simulator's ModHub and via the in-game's downloadable content:

The next time you are near an (in real life) agricultural equipment dealer, then go in and ask them about it - i.e. is there really (or not) a combine that can power and drag a baler behind it.

might aswell add this to show what i meant. https://steamcommunity.com/app/2300320/screenshots/?searchText=why&browsefilter=mostrecent&filterLanguage=default&p=1

I think we all know what you're talking about. It's just not something that's done in real life. The harvester doesn't have a pto to operate the baler.

Use a mod to make it happen if you want, but it's not something Giant's is going to change.

I think this is because harvesters have a trailer hitch to pull their own header trailers (some of them anyway) which would let you attach the baler. And because when you attach stuff to things, all the hoses and pipes connect, in this case they seem like they connected to the combine but there actually isn't any PTO on it to power it.

As said above, you could download snufelstick which isn't realistic but also isn't unrealistic. I haven't seen a PTO transfer device for combines, but I did see one for power harrows for tractors. Unless it was a dodgy AI pic. Can't be sure these days.

[Lord Nighthawk]

In reality harvesters always already work at their powerlimit when harvesting, overheating of the engine or other parts can always turn into a problem. Adding more load would simply make no sense. Farming Simulator is for sure not a 100% simulation (and never has been for easy access) but it still tries to stay as close as possible to reality. So Giants might add some stuff for soloplay comfort (hatches on machines that require multiple personal to work) but not weird out-of-reality stuff. This might be solved by modders as already said. There exist some rare special conversion versions picture in the net but no idea if the durability of these constructions is really reliable.

Tractors always have a pto, electric and hydraulic connecters as their purpose is to pull/push machines that require external power supply.

Basic combine harvesters never.

Im not sure if you guys know this Stevie FS22 mods does have a Lexion harvester that does work with the balers Very special setup and it works with Forage Wagons too It is only available for PC on his YT channel
