I and some locals have used Vermeer balers for several years. One was new, mine and others used. We have had to replace a fair number of bearings. I'm wondering how often other makes of balers have this problem. Naturally the other dealers say theirs have few problems, but I would like your opinions. Other than bearings, the Vermeers have few problems. Thanks.

I just replaced my NH 630 with a Vermeer 605H. I"ve replaced 4 bearings and rebuilt the shaft out of the gear box. All in about 200 bales. I replaced the 630 because I was replacing bearings and fixing shafts. The 630 was always stored inside. The Vermeer came from a dealer "field ready". I guess that ment ready to break down out in the field. We won"t talk about the fire. PK

Kelly Mt, Thanks for reply. the NH 630 was one of the early NH belt balers, wasn't it? The 605 H Is a pretty good baler when everything is right. The bottom roller that drives the belts and the top roller seem to use up most of the bearings and shafts. Good luck.

Hay Dr, Thanks for comments. All the used balers sat for a while on dealer's lot. My 505I was traded in with a bad bearing and shaft, but the dealer gave me a new one. I shelter the baler and don't have a pressure washer, but I do hose it off at end of season.

Most bearing problems fall into 4 situations: improper installation, improper maintenance, improper use or improper storage. If you pressure wash a baler and put it up for the winter that can cause the bearings to develop rust and stick in their flanges. All bearings have to move some in their mounts if they can not move then you are causing excess stress on that bearing and they will fail. If you store a baler where direct sun and weather can reach the baler this can cause premature bearing failure. If that baler set outside at a dealers lot for 6 months to a year you may have bearing problems from the get go. When installing flange mount bearings it is a good idea to use anti-seize inside the flanges. If you consistently overfill you baler then this causes excess stress on all the components.
