[QUOTE="e5c0rt.mk1, post: 7419295, member: 52204"] We've got a br7060, it had 10,000 bales on the clock when we got it, but it must of done 5 times that. We only make less than a 1000 bales a year. For about 5 years it was great, a few little problems, but nothing major. Then one year it never went into a field where it didnt break down. In that one year it needed about 10 bearings, hydraulic pipes, not cutting the net correctly, the net actuator stopped working, one of the big rollers wore away, cam bearing in the pick up, somehow the pickup reel was twisted. Then to top it all off it set on fire when the main gearbox to chain shaft bearing went. Luckily not too much was burnt, it was repaired then a about a year later the same bloody bearing went again and it nearly caught fire again. We've now put 2 bearings on that shaft instead of one which seems to of cured it. Last year, other than grease and oil, it never had a spanner on it. After saying all that, they are a cheap, easy to work on baler, and if you could get a good, well looked after one i cant see it being to much hassle. [/QUOTE]
