Been looking for a round baler. There is a Gehl 1310 for sale locally for $4000. Been kept in a barn and paint looks good. Makes a 4x5 soft core bale is about all I know about it at this time. Anybody familiar with these or used them in the past.

I have a OMC 590 that is really easy to use. I bought it to bale corn stalks and found it works on pretty much anything. One thing to look for is the the first roll after the pick up. Gehl had an option for an agressive roll. It was 1" smaller in diameter and had 1/2" x 1" bar stock welded on. I put this roll in my 590. Works very well for feeding in slippery material. We are now using it mainly for Corn stalk and high moisture hay bales. Always starts a bale no matter what I throw at it. Takes a little to figure out what pressure to take the bale too. You will need a little HP. I have a JD 4020 on mine. It is plenty of HP but you can here it working.

Well, I will give you about as much info as I can on this baler. The 1310 started off as a OMC baler. The patents was bought by Gehl to produce the 1310, and 1710. The OMC number for this baler is 590. With the 595 and 596 equal to the 1710. I use one of these every yr for the past 18 yrs. My best yrs I can remeber doing our baling and custom work had to be close to 2000 bales a season. This would be hay and corn fodder. We bougth the baler used from a local dealer. So far the main drive chain has been replaced 3 times. I am going to replace it this yr before hay. They is one weakness on these balers and it is located on the double sprocket that drives the bottom rolls and pick up from the main drive chain. You will see this setup above the pickup area. The sprockets are held on with a snap ring. In a perfect world this would be fine. But, with a little play and the sprockets not lined up just perfect will cause this set to walk off the shaft. Gehls cost to replace the shaft and hub was very high. So we had a machine shop turn down the shaft still in the drum and install a brass bushing. Then they built a new hub. Now a 5/16 roll pin holds it all together. I done close to 700 bales last yr like that. Witht eh 1310 you do not have to disengae the pto to dump the bale. You can bale a little more damp then with a solid center baler. The bales breath a little in the feilds. They are built strong enough to bale silage bales adn also do corn fodder. I hav ehad some problems from the roll get to smooth and not turning slick type grasses and straw before. A spray job of primer paint on the rolls gets everything spinning again. They are very simple to work on. Parts still can be had from Gehl and new shafts for the rollers can be made at machine shops cheaper then Gehl. In my opion 4000 is not to much for a good clean solid machine like this. I would prefer them over belt balers any day. If you over fill a bale it just goes right on out the back. This prevents any breakage of the machine. I would rather bale hay or corn fodder any day then have to worry about fixing belts or keeping them straight all the time. Bob

Bob You mention --if you overfill the bale just goes out the back no breakage of the machine.

Just what do you mean. What action caused the bale to be off loaded,

Please let me have your phone number I would like to call you and discuss this problem regards

I've always had Gehl balers since 79. I've got a 1475 now,belt type. Never had a 1310. I think there has to be a reason that they sell cheaper than the belt type. If you aren't looking to bale more than 500-600 bales a year,I'd say look for a 1460 or 1470. They used a roller in the bottom instead of a table belt like the 1400 and 1450 did.

Gehl has stopped making Ag . machinery about 3 yrs. ago .Parts may be a problem down the road.
