In Reply to: hesston 530 round baler posted by rick1 on May 15, 2016 at 15:28:23:

I own two of these balers and bale with 4020 jds. Late year we baled 1650 bales. I bought the first one 16 years ago so I can say I have used one a "little bit". Very simple baler, very low cost. Will make loose sloppy bales, plug easy, and ten other complaints if the wrong guy is in the drivers seat. I taught my wife how to run our #2 baler with no baling experience. After the first season she now makes me look bad. Its Not hard, just takes a little experimenting to learn its style.No different than square baling with a new holland then switching to a IH. Each baler gets the same job done, but each handles a little different. Loose, worn, or glazed belts will cause them to plug easy. The new style belting with grips on it will make it pick up hay as good as any other baler. You CAN NOT move ahead fast until you see the bale starting to spin. Once you are spinning you can almost drive as fast as you can set in the seat. They do not like wet hay or brush. Most of the time if you are having problems getting the bale to exit the baler it is not dry enough to be baling anyway. Longer the hay the better looking the bale. If you are one of those guys who cuts hay so short that it barley will make a windrow it will not make a good tight bale. I have found that after a few seasons the bales will get a little light. I remove about 2 inches from each belt. This makes a very tight bale. These bales work well for my farm, but maybe not my neighbors. To each his own. Most anyone can buy one without 4 years of payments. Anyone who has one they dont want give me a call. I would buy a third one to have a spare on hand . Al

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Godfrey, Illinois Country Days - by Cindy Ladage. Except for last fourth of July's Old Gold show in Springfield, Illinois, I don't remember when it was so hot. Nevertheless, the heat didn't keep vendors and visitors alike from enjoying the third annual Country Day's Event. Jane Elliott said the event was originally a one man show. "Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this ... [Read Article]
