Well I am going to retire the old Ford 250. After completing the tractor, I am ready to start on the baler. But I still have to bale so, I stop'd in and took a look. The 2XXs were in pretty poor condition but do have a 315 that seems to be in realy good shape. No welding, cracks, or major rust. Drive chains looked good as did the sprockets. It did have some fairly new parts in what I believe to be the pickup drive slip clutch (sits above the bale chamber with shaft running to the right side). Has all its teeth, knives looked good, and everything turns freely, with no grinding sounds. Lookin through the archives here, there seems to be some concern about the plunger eating the feed forks. Is there something to look for or does it just happen? Other than the tounge (where draw bar pin goes) there wasn't much in the way of wear showing at all. Fella who had it must of did a bunch of turning. Their askin 3500, but I would have to come up with a shoot extension. Nothing there now. It does have a wagon hitch on it. Sound good? Other areas of concern? Would an Ac D19 (65hp) have any trouble running it?

Thanks

The 315 is a good baler. The price depends on the region you are in. $3500 is higher than average around here (East Texas) but not unreasonable. We've never had any problems with the feed forks on our baler. Those forks are chain driven and I guess they could get out of time if you let the chain get too loose or had a problem with the 90� gearbox. The two pieces of the tongue can be switched top-to-bottom if you think the top one is too thin. After running this baler, you will see why that top piece is thin. The plunger is heavy and really rocks the baler back and forth. I doubt that turning too much is the culprit. As to hp to run it, the manual shows the engine driven models have 36 horse engines. I have baled with a 23 hp Ford 1710, a 27 hp Farmall H, and an 85 hp Deere. All performed OK but live PTO is the way to go. Last comment: keep the plunger knife sharp and well adjusted and you'll have a good machine.
