We run a 315 and all it does is eat hay and run. Rarely a problem and will handle just about anything we can throw at it.

Funny you would recomend that, since I posted that I passed on the hesston and bought a caseIH 3309 discbine. I love it, will never go back to a sickle style mower. This thing flat out eats hay. Thanks for the advice

I'm looking into buying a Hesston 1160 mower conditiner. 14ft,rubber/steel roll, center pivot, average condition asking $3900. Does anyone have any experience with these mowers? Any opinions or advive is appreciated.

CrossBow and 2-4-D. Stay away from glyphosate products unless you want to kill everything. This mix will smoke everything except the grass, which you usually want to keep to help hold down the weeds in the future. Mix 1 gal crossbow and a 2 1/2 gal of 2-4-d Ester(oil based, will help burn it...

Cultivating is a good tool if you have the time to do it. It is very cheap weed control. You do get the weeds between the rows, and if you can go fast enough you can throw dirt and cover small weeds in the row. It is great for soil aeration, help for moisture absorption/ prevents runoff. It...

I've had a Stihl for over ten years and love it. Very few problems and I am amazed at how much I use it. My trees are trimmed up higher than I could have imagined and I can mow around them with a big tractor easily. Don't be afraid of spending the money on a pole saw, it is money well spent.

The rubber chain guides in the center are wore down to the metal and the chain catches on that every once in a while. Good idea on the upper bearings, I will do that. I also have some links to replace in the apron chain, NH sells em for $13. Cheaper than $600 for a whole new chain. Thanks...

I think I found my issues, upper apron chain guides are wore down to nothin and the chain is too loose. Chain catches and shears pin, also need to replace some chain links, nothin major though.

I bought the baler for $5500, very good shape, paint near perfect, chains very good, 2 bent bars but that is a cheap fix. Pickup real good, floor good. Brought it home and ran it, ran good except for 2 bars bangin, then sheared a shear pin and something in the bottom half is making the slip...

I am looking for opinions on which type of baler is better all around, concerning maintainence, ease of use and bale consistency.

Thanks for the feed back diamond s, I listed it wrong, it is a 4865. I'll keep my eyes open for something better.

I am looking into buying a late 90's New Idea 4864 round baler for $7500. The baler looks to be in very good condition, includes cab monitor, has net wrap. Probably will only be making 200 bales per year.Any opinions on these balers, problems to look for, price range? Any feedback is greatly...
