Has anybody had any good or bad experience with a CaseIH 8540 baler? We are looking at one currently. Thank you.

That is essentially the same baler that Hesston/Massey still has in production and they seem to have a good reputation. A friend of mine runs them and says that the only thing he doesn't like is having to turn his head farther to view the pickup. The in-line design tends to be quite forgiving on what it takes to make nicely shaped bales.
The thing about buying my Hesston 4550 (it's the smallest inline Agco makes) is WHY did I wait sooo long to get it. Buy the baler and don't look back (I mean this literally). It'll be baling just fine. Maybe even make a little money, well maybe! They're a excellant baler. It'll take some of the stress off you so you can worry 'bout other stuff. I don't ever want to have operate and offset baler again. I'm a exceptionally small operator and those offset machines were just too cumbersome to manuever in the small fields I have to harvest. bjr
I can't speak directly to an inline baler as I don't own one or have ever used one, however, IMHO, they are a fine baler. Can't say I've ever read a complaint about banana bales from them. From a fuss factor, they are about as simple and easy to use/spit out perfect square bales as it gets.
Good luck,
Bill

I have a CIH 8530 inline.A '92(?) machine that has baled who knows how many 'million' bales.With out a dought the best baler I have EVER owned.Totally trouble free.Makes that Perfect" bale,from 50 to 80 lbs. on a consistentl basis.That thing can an unbeliveable amount of hay.An inline gets my highest recomendation.
