What parts are you looking for? pretty sure I’ve got some various springs for one of those still here

Anybody got a Kuhn rw1610 wrapper? Any good?

The table will slow down to a stop when you move the arm on the 991, with good bales 28rpm is about as fast as you can safely go with 2 rolls of wrap running and good solid bales, can go a bit faster with just a single roll. Shear bolts do break ocasionally, very rare to see a chain break though

Thanks to this thread i changed the battery on mine last week- been keeping time perfectly since, i would never have thought there was a battery in it otherwise!

I run a Kuhn with a Ford 4610, 60hp ish, manages fine with straw, silage needs a bit of care not to feed it to fast, wouldn't want anything smaller though

I find that cattle mostly choose to lie out the sun, sheep on the other hand are all hidden away in the shade once it gets hot

I’ve only the basic control box. It makes sense that the density indicators would only work when pressurising and as you say it’s probably of very little actual use in reality but it’s a nice gimmick. If I was buying again I’d be looking at Mchale, Mf and Kuhn and it would come down to who was...

I know what you mean about moving the bottom roller to the back door, doesn’t quite look right but used to occasionally get a bale stuck in the back door on the old baler - don’t seem to get that problem with the Mf, the 2 chains going around the back door is an improvement as that was the first...

What are you not keen on? I went from lely to mf version, on its 3rd season and while I was a bit dubious it’s been ok to be fair.

As an update, after contacting the vendor he agreed to refund the cost of the tup without any hassle- some breeders are good guys after all lol

The tup had been given AB and anti inflammatory but the inevitable happened today, not had this particular situation before so will call the auctioneers tomorrow to see where we stand. Bloody Sheep! 😵
