    Net Wrap on an "I" Series Vermeer Baler?

    I have a 504 Super "I" that is in very good condition and makes a good bale. I have been very proactive in maintaining and upgrading the baler since I purchased it about 3 years ago and feel like it is better than when it was new. At least as good as new. It has the equal fill/auto tie monitor...

    Vermeer 504SI Questions

    I finished baling 116 bales yesterday/today with my 504SI. It went pretty well until the last 20 or so bales. I struggled through and got finished but man was it annoying. It would not cut the strings. The problem was/is that the twine arm was not hitting the plunger that brings the blades down...

    Has anyone out there found a different source for the Vermeer baler magnetic reed switches? They are insanely high at the dealer.

    Vermeer 504SI Density Cylinder Stroke

    I just rebuilt the density cylinders on my 504SI. When I went through the recharge process (disconnect & stroke the cylinders 12 times) the left cylinder (setting in the tractor seat) would return much slower than the right. I disconnected the right side cylinder and isolated the left cylinder...

    Bimectin Dewormer?

    While getting ready to work a group of calves I picked up a bottle of Bimectin at my local CO-OP. It is a 1/3 the price of Cydectin or Eprinex for the same 40 head volume. It is a new product here so I am not familiar with it. I am wondering if anyone else has used it? What has been your experience?

    Kubota M9000 A/C Compressor Replacement

    The A/C compressor on my M9000 locked up today. Went from cooling great to squealing. Does anyone have service literature for the replacements procedures? I have never replaced a tractor compressor but lots of auto units. Wondering how the services bulletin says to flush the system. The serial...

    Is there an additive/fertilizer that will not flash off ths time of year?

    Our first cut was just a little off pace for yield from the last two years and the second cut is looking downright poor. The grass coming back looks good but it is seems to be growing back slow. It is grass hay, fescue, orchard grass, timothy, and clover. The fescue is not coming back at all. I...

    Kubota M9000 Condenser Fan Addition Problem

    I have wanted to do this project for a while and finally getting around to it. M9000's are known for their small condenser and I have read from several sources that addiing a fan helps. I purchase a 10" racing grade fan from Summit Racing and a 12-volt electro-mechanical relay kit from a local...

    What brand/ply baler belts do you use?

    I may be replacing the belts on a Vermeer 504 SI. I have looked at several sites and don't see a lot of consistency except most of them claim to sell OEM belts and the prices I have seen are pretty close. My questions; is there a specific manufacturer you recommend (like Continental, etc...) and...
