MF/Hesston Inline Baler - New Model Differences?

Looking at the MF/Hesston small square balers online and it looks like the flywheel is now enclosed with sheet metal. Is this a recent change? Anything else change with it? Wonder how difficult this new sheet metal makes for changing out a shear bolt or greasing anything in that area. I think the model number have changed too.

Just curious.

Thanks!
Bill

Reasons not to buy a NH Balewagon

I have been doing some custom hauling/stacking. I have made a few observations along the way.
1.If you have an inline baler and less than a 14 foot swather, and don't rake 2 rows together, you don't want a stacker.
2.If you have trouble making compact, square, and dense bales in grass hay, you don't want a stacker.
3. If it is more than about ten miles from the field to the stack, you don't want a stacker.
4.If your bale lengths vary by more than a few inches, you don't want a stacker.
On the other hand, if you build dense and consistent bales, rake two rows together or follow the right pattern baling, you will love a stacker. Under significantly less than ideal conditions (see 1,2,4 above) I was able to get almost 3000 bales put up in a day and a half.
Overall it was a good couple of days, and I am a little sore from all of the trips up on the second table to fix fallen, skewed, and messed up bales. I am still learning as I go, and have a ways to go yet. I am not a fan of lightweight (30-40#) grass 14X18 bales.

4230 Case IH Hydraulic malfunction

I have a 4230 Case IH that when I run it for about an hour all the hydraulics quit. ALL HYDRAULICS, pto, steering, brakes, etc. After 30 seconds to two minutes, everything comes back on. Changed oil and filter. Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks in advance.

Does crab grass seed carry over to next year?

I bought a bag of red river and messed around and did not get it planted this year.I live in north Alabama but I am afraid it is too late.

How would you store it till next May and will it still germinate well?

Hay Hay Hay Wilson

Got a question for you,Over here in Panola county I have had two producers that have lost some of their tifton 85,just them 2 is all I know of and I planted it for them a few years ago and they were good hay fields but they use a lot of chicken litter,in this sandier ground is it possible for them to have too much potash or phosphorus? They have taken a soil test but didnt say if those were high just said they recommended 100 units of nitrogen after each cutting,could the soil be out of balance enough to harm the bermuda grass? I dont like chicken litter you never know what you are getting and today what they mix with the feed who knows?
