[QUOTE="ArrowHBrand, post: 586685, member: 6496"] We are finished baling also. Got the last of the small squares up two weekends ago. No problems this time, but the first cutting we had we were pulling the baler and rack out when a front tire on the tractor went flat. Wife was driving the tractor so I drove back to the house and got the spare. When I got back antifreeze was spewing out of the tractor. Thankfully the neighbor let us use his tractor to bale because that weekend alone we baled up 550 bales just the two of us. She drives the tractor and stacks in the loft and I stack the rack and run the rack when we unload because I can move the bale-evator down the stacks. Baler never missed a beat, once we got it dialed in, usually takes five bales or so. I'm going to redeck the rack over the winter. It's about time because I put my foot through it the second time we baled. Baler is cleaned out, twine removed, mothballed, and ready for winter. Oh, and we only broke two shear bolts this season, yea! We had a problem getting the first cutting to dry though. I raked it twice and there were still about 40 wet bales, but we had two stallions and two heifers to feed at the time so they took care of those before they got moldy. I'm looking forward to winter and a much needed slow down. [/QUOTE]
