Hi Guys,
I have one of these babys w/ a problem with one of the strippers (not) taking the twine off the bill hook. Has anyone ever had to adjust the stripper on one of these things???

It has been my experience that this happens as a result of the bill hook being to tight or the clearance between the stripper and hook being to much. I have heard that that stripper can be bent to take up the clearance. I have not tried this since it appears to be a cast part. Instead I replace the bill hook and/or the stripper.

Also a easy fix is to use a thicker twine.

Hi David,
I ended up opting for bending the support arm 10/1000 of an inch or so. I used a pipe wrench!! Would you believe it worked! I used old crappy broken-bale dusty hay from my father-in law's barn to test the baler out. I put a big tarp over his hay-elevator and sent down about 5-7 bales worth.

Overall, do you like the 532??? I've never cut/baled hay in my life and am new to farming. I bought the 532 (w/500 kicker) at an auction and kind of refurbed the thing. I lubed it up real good and went through the bale chamber w/ a grinder outfitted w/ a wire wheel....came out pretty good. I'm not sure if I'm better off w/ a NH or something.

Thanks,
Mike

The one I had was a good bailer, just dont get in a hurry and keep everything adjusted. I traided mine for a 315 NH. The parts on the Ford are getting more and more expensive.
