What are the differences in these models and are they good balers. Do they make tight bales? also were there Super models made and what would be the price range of these models?

I've had a 403F for many years, and it seems to be bullet proof. Only 2 bearings to replace in all the years. The G model seemed to be basically the same as per the previous post. They will make a nice bale. I took off the hydraulic cylinder on my 403F, which is designed to apply pressure on the bale as it forms. It still makes a nice bale. With the cylinder at a few hundred pounds, one can make a bale that is hard as a rock. Mike

I can only speak of the 605 series. The basic baler was probably 95 common between the two models.

The F's used hydraulics and springs to tension the bale. The G's used double springs to tension the bale. I think there were some places on the G where lighter bearings were used, mainly on the PTO driveline. On our early F the pickup had 4 bars. I THINK the G had 4 or 5.

The Super F had a simplified hydraulic tensioning set up, a overcenter latch to release tension on the pickup drive belt and most importantly, a 6 bar pickup. That 6 bar made all the difference in the world starting bales. I think that later super F's had a different bearing set up on the starter roller, which has a high rate of failure on standard bearings.

Hope this helps

John
