[QUOTE="John SD, post: 908034, member: 14713"] Somehow I did not notice this post before I posted above. A 5510 is very similar to a 5500 and everything I said about a 5500 applies to a 5510. The tailgate is designed slightly differently between a 5500 and 5510. 5500 has a "pointy" rear end while a 5510 is squared off. I think it has an extra roller in the tailgate. Otherwise I think it only difference is an audible alarm when the bale gets full on the 5510. The downfall of these balers was they were not designed with absolutely perfect dimensions. The rollers tend to "crawl"and break the lock collars off the bearings. Some balers run more "true" than others. I had 2 5500's. One had been through the machine shop before I bought it and got the rollers trued up. Definitely had less bearing problems with it. $1200 is probably not a bad price for a 5510 in exceptional condition with good forming grid. [/QUOTE]
