Farmcracker we bought one of these machines 8 yrs ago for £5k(IRL) i think. Sold it last year for €4k. Not bad depericating value IMO. We do over 1000 bales a year for ourselves and neighbours. Narrow pick up and twine tie were a b1tch with the rain on the way, held up things. Good machine but dont make a big bale. Mchale easily put 30-50% more into a bale.


Fairly bomb proof if like all machinery maintained, greacing before every use/morning of baleing, and the wide angle pto shaft, fill oil bottle with chain oil(dont be tempted to put in burnt oil) for lubercating the chains every 250-300 bales, The pick up real bearing has no greace nipple so just throw some oil on it-better then nothing. in the 8 yrs we had the machine we only changed the bearings on one rollar and changed the pick up bearings 3 times(lack of a greace nipple).



As making the bales 80-90hp at the very least should be used, A lot more for a chopper unit, dont rush and take your time is the key. On our baler the buzzer/light came on the second any pressure came on the back door so ignore it and change the tieing unit to manual (inside the small door in the left as looking at baler on front) and bale on the pressure gauge-once it hits red hit the button to tie and travel 4-5 ft to catch the net/twine.

Note: Faults and ideas are from my past experience-not the text bookway..
