[QUOTE="simme, post: 1725276, member: 40418"] Thick and gloopy is glycerin or silicone. Gauges have a mechanical mechanism in them that will wear quickly with high frequency pressure pulsations. A gauge filled with a thick liquid dampens the movements to make the gauge last longer. If you need to replace the gauge, it is available from many sources online, even walmart online. High density bales are generally what you want for holding shape and shedding rain - if you are going to haul, store and feed them. Unless the moisture is high. Softer bales will breathe more for higher moisture hay. Balers with monitors can be set to build soft cores and harder shells to try to optimize both. Highest density and heaviest bales are a little harder on the belts and components. But, I don't [B]think [/B]it will explode if the gauge is not working. A baler can be fun to operate except when it is giving trouble. Which happens some with older balers. People selling hay here tend to make softer bales and tie before they get to full diameter. Since they sale by the bale instead of by the ton. I would rather pay more for a dense full size bale, but they can't overcome their mindset of soft small bales. That makes them a pain to haul and stack. [/QUOTE]
