[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1339865, member: 9096"] Mine cuts pretty good except in lodged stuff... had it's work cut out for it today, I cut down a field where the OG was 5 ft high, a few bits of mustard were 8' high, and the alfalfa, had it not been mostly lodged, was 4' high.. the real trouble was when the rollers would try to suck it up before the knives had cut it and it had to pull like heck on it.. it's the field I'm swath grazing. Straightening the tongue doesn't bother me.. easy enough to do.. but the 7' swath doesn't leave much room to get our 282 baler between the rows, especially if the 1/4 turn chute lets one flop back or in the corners. I see yours has met a few fenceposts on the far side too.. Ours still has the guard there unlike yours, but the door is long gone.. I had some wet alfalfa get wrapped up in the belt, and it sure made a slippery mess.. didn't want to power the paddles in heavy stuff until it dried off [/QUOTE]
