No offense taken Dave, and no doubt I would have learned how to keep it from plugging. The baler I had was actually in very good condition, and well cared for. My biggest reason for selling was that I realized I had $4,000 in a baler I really did not like and a baler that would do just fine (albeit not as pretty a bale, and wrong color paint) but (the good part) I only had about $500 in it. That was 3 or 4 years ago now, and going to try to get another year out of the $500 baler. If I were running a smaller (35 or 40 horse) tractor, I would be running the Hesston and sold the NH per my original plan. Sooner or later I know my luck will run out on the old NH as it did break a main apron chain year before last, but I got lucky and only took out a couple links, and $35 later it was back in the field. I have no plans on putting very much in it, and if I cannot fix inexpensively, it will go for parts or scrap, and I will replace it, and consider it as earning it's keep. [Reply]   [No Email]
