Mike: My son has been custom hay baling since about 1985, started out with a used Hesston, then a new Hesston, then 2 new JD 530's, presently has two 535's, one with net-wrap, but has kinda quit the custom work. Also has a large square baler. I have operated all these balers, but I can't remember too much about the 530's but I don't think there was a whole lot of difference in the 530 and the 535, just some improvements and refinements on the 535. Both are good balers. I still do some baling with the 535's. Both these balers have monitors and I think the 530's did also. I don't think the 530's had the bale kicker on them, which is kinda nice not to have to back up each time you tie a bale. Pay close attention to the bearings in the rollers. They are pretty dependable but last summer my son was baling prairie hay (CRP grass) and a bearing went out and got hot and caught the hay field on fire, burning about 10 acres. He was able to keep the baler and tractor away from the fire. If you use the back and forth method, it is best to disengage the PTO when you are turning as it reduces wear and stress on the PTO drive line. Also, the pins (wires) that hold the belt laces together will eventually wear out so it is a good idea to replace them periodically. An operator's manual has lots of useful information and is a must so that you can make adjustments, etc. Good luck with the baling.
