[QUOTE="littleboss, post: 355315, member: 6044"] Yep, been spending quality time in the hayfield for nearly 20 years. I can't say that its fun but at least I am in charge of my hay's quality. If I bale it to green or get it wet, it's nobody's fault but my own. I replaced that JD baler with a JD 457. I bought the high moisture kit which has a scraper that keeps most of the hay off of the rollers. It also has a slip clutch instead of a shear pin,so at least I am not always having to stop and replace shear pins. It still clogs up some but not as much as the old one. I wish I had of known about how good the Krone is in high moisture hay. No one that I know of sells them around here. You can find JD, & Case IH within 20 miles. If I go out to 60 miles I can find New Holland, Vermeer and Hesston. I have 2 nearly identical tractors both with Quick Hitch. If one breaks I can move the disc mower over to the other in just a few minutes. Same with the baler, move the computer over to the other and I am ready to go. [/QUOTE]
