Just posted the other day about my customer with the custom built bale busting and rebaling outfit wearing out balers. Well, they are on the express train now. I got the new prep table installed today. Unfortunately we are still fighing problem with insufficient flow from the pump that a third party had speced out for the setup, but that will soon be remedied. That said until today the record was 7 big bales in an hour. Today they ran for one hour after I got the prep table hooked up. Unfortunately with the low hydraulic flow they have to stop two functions in order to move the prep table and ripper table converyors together as they are supposed to, but that problem will go away with the new pump. Even with the hydraulic issues causing things no to work as they need to, just having the table in place took them from 7 bales an hour to 12 bales, and number 13 sitting on the table ready to feed. With things right, and dialed in I see no reason they can't do the full 13 bales, and maybe even one more, once we get the bugs worked out.
Customer said the current bales are netting about 34 samll bales for every big bale, which means, judging by today, they should be able to turn out in excess of 400 bales per hour, consistantly, as long as they have bales in the barn to feed it.
