    JD 545 Baler

    Can anyone help out with this, JD round baler tying arm not engaging. If you lift the tail gate up it sounds like it trips, but the arm itself doesn’t swing round. Same thing with the manual trip on the rope. There’s oil and pressure in the pump. Problem seems to be the little ram in the photo...

    Isn’t the gaffer such a cuddly guy. Signs the nation up to complex deals, expecting the other side not to apply what has been agreed to by him. He of course, has no intention whatsoever to implementing what has been agreed, and so has no apparent difficulty in believing or hoping, others would...

    Fixed Chamber Roller Balers for baling straw?

    Currently looking to buy a S/H baler for use on straw only. Whilst many would prefer a belt baler for this purpose how are people getting on with roller type machines such as McHale/Welger/Kuhn once the straw becomes brittle. Thoughts and advice appreciated

    McHale or Kuhn Fixed or Variable?

    Which baler to replace a variable chamber Krone? McHale roller makes best shaped bales of grass, Kuhn belt best for swallowing dry stuff (and presumably straw), but bales of second cut sag before wrapping (or I didn't set the density correct on the demo). What are the McHale V6 like for making...
