Hello John,

Hoping you can answer a few questions about your 503I baler. So is the size of the bale 5'x3'? If so how heavy does your bales get? Does your baler have spring or hydraulic tension? How many bales do you roll with it a year? How long have you had the baler and would you recommend one for a guy rolling say 100 bales a year? Hope I didn't over do it with all the questions. I know where one is for sale and I'm intrested in. What did you have to pay for yours if you don't mine saying. I unhide my e-mail if you care to drop me answers that way.

Matthew

Matthew, what's up. I paid $4,500 for mine and that was the best money spend. I do about 250 to 300 bales a year for my cows. We have about 180 day sof winter feed here in New England so I need that amount. The size is 39" by 5'. I make them to about 4', when they get up to 5', they get top heavy and suck to haul. This baler likes dry hay, it hate wet. The bales might go 400 pounds, not much. Good size for the 25 to 35 cow heard. It has big spring that do the tension with electric tie, not rope tie. I have bales for 5 years with it and love it. One of the guys on this post mention Harold at Vermeer and he is right, that guy is great and can answer everything. Vermeer is a great company and they will send you free manual for it if you call them. I also find the skinny bales at 39", if left outsdie uncovered, keep beter that the wide ones. The wide ones have mor esurface area for water damage. I cover mine with 4 mil plastic, I line them up 20 or so long, face to face and cover them with plastic, only the top and use big nails to hold the plastic on. I roll th eplastic up under and drive the nail in in an upward motion and the spike in good.
You can call ma at (508) 520-9291 and we can talk abot it. 100 bales per year, great baler. Se eya Matt. I also unhid my e-mail.
