If you have never been around a rotobaler its tough to explain what to look for. If this helps, check the gap on the trip latch plate, should be around 1/16th of an inch. In addition, check the entire bale discharge and twine arm/cutting mechanism. I would suggest asking the fellow you're buying this baler from to dig out his owner's manual, it will tell you what to look for. If he doesn't have one, I can xerox mine for you but its for an older baler, should be very similar unless you have an overdrive baler, and may be some differences in pickup and shields. If you have the patience to learn, these balers are surprising in their capacity. You have to rake your windrows the width of the pickup raddle minimum. I've raked hay as wide as the bottom of the pickup and baled it-that's a 6 foot width. If they plug, pull the cord and run them in reverse until the plug comes out. I admit I'm different, but I've baled a lot of hay with a rotobaler and I like them. Don't let some bozo tell you they are all junk, perhaps some were, but not all. Well I'm getting windy, e-mail me if you need a manual.
