I am mechanically challenged. Did not grow up on a farm, but had family that farmed.
I bought a 327 in 2004 when I started haying. It has been through 5 seasons without a problem. Look at the knotters to see how much wear there is. But honestly other than breaking a few shear bolts in 2004(operator error), it has run pretty flawlessly. Mine has a weak knot every 100 bales or so. It ties fine, but then busts when stacking the hay in the barn(not on wagon thankfully). Again this may be operator error.
If I were buying a baler tomorrow it would be another 327. Note I only hay 20 acres and have a budget to stick to... In addition if I am stacking by myself, it can chuck out a bale faster than I can stack them all(about 1 every 15-20 seconds), so I don't need more capacity.
