Both of my balers had to have trees cut out of them so I could drag them home. This one I just took the little Ford and hooked to it and drove up on the 24ft goose neck trailer dragging it behind. They have a horrible reputation here in the flat lands of NC but I think I know why. There is a mistake in the manual explaining how to set up the feed forks. The manual calls for them to be 180 degrees out of phase and the setup instructions put them exactly in phase. That baler can not handle a windrow of any size that way and that is what everyone had complained of. All of the ones I have seen in this part of the country are setup that way and do not work worth a hoot. It seems that they came from one dealer for about two years until he quit selling them. I believe that a mechanic followed the instructions in assembling them and killed a brand. Having followed as many as I have, I changed it and wham that thing will eat a big windrow. But both of mine are baling so I have one set up for plastic and one setup for sisal. Until one breaks and I need a part!!!
