[QUOTE="beefmasters, post: 1272243, member: 6758"] Sorry,i have been away from the computer this afternoon so just getting back to your questions. cowski, Good idea on the upper roller scrapper.It looks ok but i am going to have to find out in the manual if it is within specs. hurleyjd, No the hay was not cut with a mower conditioner--i don't have one.Would i have liked for it to have been crimped-you bet.I may have to get one but i don't really want to.The fields that the sudan is on we are slowly trying to get into permanent grass hay meadows such as b dahl bluestem etc.The sudan is not something i plan on doing from now on.The non conditioning may well be the problem.I just assumed the 457 baler would have baled anything(and more) than the old 510 baler would.As i said the old 510 baler never missed a beat on the hay. Dun, I appreciate your trying to find out information for me.Both things they told you sound reasonable.I think the manual shows something about the tooth placement to the starter roll but will have to research it. On your question of whether this is why the baler was sold.My relative(who i trust :D ) went to the farmers place to buy the baler.He said everything the guy had was in barns and everything was immaculate.Said the farmer told him the baler was gone thru by his john deere dealer every year after harvest. Could he have lied-sure. Could he have a sorry jd dealer-possibility. But you do the best you can and take your chances. Appreciate all you guys for trying to help. [/QUOTE]
