This is interesting. I agree ther eis no way a machine "needs a break". It sounds like their saying the machine has a lower "duty cycle" then the advertized rate. OK why? Are the bearings getting hot? Why? too small? The oil getting hot and not providing sufficient lubrication? So maybe the first thing to do is 1)increase the capacity of the oil pump and 2)add an oil cooler. On the surfaces where the hale slides is it wearing pretty fast? and adding heat? So add cool plates and harden the steel surfaces. Everything I just suggested increases the life and the duty cycle. I have a more basic question--Why re-bale hay? I would think the end cost is higher and the quality is reduced. Labor cost? Change the approach and reduce the labor cost. Weather/time the issue again change the approach and shorten that up. If this customer is big enough to get what he wants why not get custom machines built. And that becomes a cost--benefit question. If the cost of custom machines can not be justified by the benefit i.e. running and replacing standard balers is more cost efficient then building longer running custom machines then suck it up and keep buying standad balers.
