[QUOTE="DiamondSCattleCo, post: 254871, member: 2862"] Cowsense hit the nail on the head. Chain balers don't lose anymore leaf than belt balers, and in the case of an enclosed chamber chain baler (like the M&Ws, who also have a slower chamber speed), you'll lose less leaf than a belt baler. $4900 does seem a little steep for an older machine like the 853 though. I've seen nice NH chain balers selling up here for as less as $2000 at auction sales. And CB, do you have something out of alignment with your baler? I know a few guys who have baled thousands of bales with NH chain balers and only replace 1 or 2 bearings every thousand or so bales. With my M&W 5506, I only replaced 2 bearings in 4000 bales, and with my 1800 I replaced 1 bearing during its life (I was only rolling 4 - 500 bales a year though). Rod [/QUOTE]
