Is it any good.? We had a r p 12 s.it was a big pile of pooOur 28 year old Welger RP12 baling hay this afternoon ....View attachment 53472
I went into a ten acre hay field at mid day once. At 4 I still had not made a bale. I painted the rollers with old paint n threw sand on them. Never stopped for the next hundredWe've still got our old RP12 as a standby and it was always fine for hay and silage, but dry oat straw drove me potty as the bales would stop spinning no matter what advice you took to stop it. Good tough old thing though
they chuck strawy sh*t a good distanceSnap, I have a spreader the same, its not really used in anger now,but can still do the job.

Worst bit about them was the drive gearboxes going pop. The lowest point in the box is the output shaft to the bed to so any metal filings and crap will sit around the bottom bearings.and this one has not had to much use by the looks of it! seems to have been in the back of a shed for some time!

Later boxes had a re circulation pipe which helped.
It's only an hours job to lift the box out. Take the bottom shaft out and give it a wash out and some new bearings.
While you're at it there are 2 uj's on the shaft from the box down to the bed which never get greased and can sit in water
