I don't own a GEHL but in answer to 14,000 bales being a lot I would say that is nothing, especially for a $5,000.00 net wrap baler. If you were custom baling at 20 bucks a roll and clearing 40% above fixed costs, fuel and labor it would only take 630 rolls to pay for that baler so if you get a couple thousand rolls per year for the next several years out of it you are in high cotton. Most all baler consumables these days, regardless of manufacturer, such as bearings, belts, sprockets, chains, tines rollers etc. are available from various sources other than the dealers and usually at much less cost. Monitors can be sourced from salvage yards or sent off to ag electronic places for rebuild. I never take availability of parts or dealer support into the equation when buying any equipment anymore, whether major or shortline because it just does not make that much difference anymore, the internet and UPS are about all a person needs these days with a little pre-planning although it does pay to have a back up to critical equipment but that would still be the case if the dealership was next door.

Yup, ask it how it feels. Now, as with the other articles in this series one has to be able to hear what 'ole blue' is trying to say in response. The nice thing about our old iron friends is that they are usually quite consistent in their response, rather unlike some people I know who might change what they say due to the weather or other mitigating circumstances. But since t
