Adequately unproblematic to operate and maintain. Just problem is they can't have much of a windrow. 9' mower is all information technology wants. Bales are adequately soft, not as tight equally a New Holland or others. Works practiced for me because my loader tractor is a 340 IH and I tin can roll the bales down the barn with not to much endeavor. Hydraulic necktie would be nice, ours works by pulling a rope. They don't actually tie a knot, just wraps the bale with twine.

Also would exist a good idea to check reel bearings with a infra crimson thermometer, while its running. Disallowment that, look for burnt paint. My Hesston 5530 is the same baler, and it'southward had a bad bearing since I got information technology, but I go along spraying oil into it, and it has run for years like that. Also, cheque the belts for splits or ripped lace connections. New set is about $550, last time I bought one. Wish I had that HYD tie feature on mine. I do have an extra set up of bale ejector ramps, for the dorsum, if yous desire to bale, and eject bales, without backing up. Email me if you are interested. I am in MD, only to let you know if shipping is feasible. How much are they request for the baler?

I bought 1 of the Hesston 530'southward a couple years ago, baled role of one flavour, and by the time I had baled xl bales, I was gear up to sell it. I cannot complain almost any item problems with it, probably considering I did non keep long enough to accept issues with information technology. I had been baling with a New Holland 850 and would bale as fast as I could bulldoze and never plug. The Hesston was just the opposite, and past the time I had baled 40 bales in 90 + degree oestrus/humidity, I had been laying on my back twice unplugging information technology. Besides, I did not like the fact I was constantly tying, equally it does not have much hay to fill the bales. Also the bales are then lite they are hard to get a fasten in without pushing them all over the field. I actually bought the Hesston to supplant my old 850, but I sold the Hesston, and put the NH back in the befouled, and went dorsum to the former concatenation baler. I remember they are a good little baler, just I bought the baler to bale about 60 acres per yr, and to sell the bales, but had a very difficult time selling the bales. Just my experience with one.

Pretty hard to go along a 39" pickup on a windrow without losing hay, or at least it was for me.

I bale about 40 acres per year. I like the small bales, easy to handle. I sell some to pocket-sized operations where the small bale is very handy. Easy to load and move. My 530 makes adequately tight bales. I have an electric tie, works nifty.

Biggest problems are 1. the pickup is too narrow - it'south between the tires instead of in front of information technology. It'll usually take all the hay you lot tin can stuff into it no problem, but you miss part of any good sized windrow. ii. the transmission twine mechanism would never cut the twine for me until I did a little re engineering. The hydraulic wrap is supposed to be much better. It doesn't "necktie" but leaves loose ends, btw. 3. Loves outset cutting, doesn't work that well baling upward third cutting. Other than that, it's been a pretty problem gratis...

Timberjack, I simply bought this baler and when I start baling, my bale gets to exist about 15 inches in bore and the belts stop moving similar it is jamming internally. I have checked all the rollers and they are working, any thought what may cause this? I take a manual on society but it has non arrived nevertheless. Thanks in accelerate!
