We got a Kuhns system last spring, had some teething problems (with other things, not the Kuhn system). We also scaled up hay making in a big way 500 bales to 5,000 with 10,000 expected in 2007, we do this with three part-timers (me, my wife and another guy, all in our 40s) First problem was the locally fabricated bracket did not allow the grab to be flat on the ground; the first cut hay was too much for our NH310 (know lots about unstuffing it); the NI 7210 that we got had a problem with the right handed knotter. The knotter worked whenever the guy from the dealer was there, and did not when he was gone (wanted to tape up his picture in the twine box to make the baler behave.) As we did the last of our hay everything came together and it works just like their DVD. The only problem I am having now is stacking the bales evenly on the flat wagon with the grab, maybe my depth perception is not as good as I think it is. I think that an inline baler is better as we can get through gates with the whole thing set up. The simplicity of their system is great, no power or hoses; be carefull about turning too hard while you are baling as you can jam up the chute. I had some minor problems with some of the springs comming loose but a dozen zip-ties fixed that. We generally make 40-45 pound bales for the horse market and keep some of the second/third cut for our dairy sheep.
