[QUOTE="Stonewall Joe, post: 1765157, member: 41433"] the cutter was cutting just fine like it was supposed to do, then there was a loud rattling noise and although the gear box was working the heads stopped moving. On examination you can see where the heads closest to the gear box jumped time and hit each other which I assume was the noise, then it stopped cutting. The only heads that now turn in time with each other are when you hand turn the final 2, the others only turn one at a time as if the driver has completely been disconnected and when you turn them by hand there is no resistance, they just free turn. I've had vermeer equipment in the past with virtually no problems but this one has had issues. This has been a year for problems with equipment it seems, we finished up cutting with my old Kuhn cutter which even after 25 years cuts like a champ and yesterday the clutch on the pick up reel of my Kubota round baler went out after about 35 rolls/. To help avoid problems we had just taken the baler to the Kubota dealer to have completely gone over but I guess they don't look close enough. After years of Vermeer and John Deere balers the Kubota "Premium" baler has been a disappointment. My son is going to get the New Holland square baler out and bale part of it today and the neighbor is coming over to roll the rest [/QUOTE]
