I think I have one more year in her yet. Rubber is starting to crack badly on the rollers and I am due for another wobble box rebuild. Luckily I have two good spare wobble boxes on hand.
How many acres do you cover with that? We cover a little over 230 with ours and most think we are crazy. Cheap, not crazy.

I thought I was cheap, but I had to pay $225 for the MN rake, and $500 for the NH 273 baler.
Now I just need someone to pay $8 a bale and an intern to do the work!

Skyhightree, you have consistently posted pictures of some of the most enviable equipment on the board. However, this one is not on that list . I believe I'll gladly take my JD 830 MoCo over your haybine.
