Bet it works well. Pulls hard too I'd imagine. Those are good for covering heavy stuff used to have a 16 foot. Took a big tractor to pull even a 16 foot

I've wondered how those little Taylorway offsets are to pull. My Rome uses every pony that the 4240 can muster.

That's the first thing I thought when I saw it was an offset. Those things have fooled a lot of people. My 560D is pretty well balanced has handled a lot of stuff above its weight class but I'd bet that little offset would make it beller.

I used my neighbors JD just like this one and it was hard too pull.

I really would like to try out A few pieces of vertical tillage equipment. It's just too much $$$.

That disc was pulled from the beginning by a 560 gas. I had a 10' King offset that I pulled with my 1105 Massey.

Must be light soil. In our clay with slopes,no.

I'm just a small farmer compared to you all. Do we have a member that is a Vermeer dealer? I have a 504 super I that is in need of belts.

10-4. He gets a bunch of my money! I was looking for dealer prices or close to cost. Bill does me good but I get better out of OH sometimes.

lol i understand my uncle bought a new baler with the computer a couple years ago from him not sure what model it is but it was to replace his 504i are yours slipping or smooth ?

 

[Crzybowhntr]

They're just smooth. I bought it for stupid cheap out of PA. It actually has netwrap and the monitor. I rolled 30 some bales last year with it late in the year but would like to re-belt it sometime soon. It was crazy going from a 403f to a 504.

i think his has the netwrap option also but didnt buy that part of it drove the tractor there and had them install the monitor

Does that model have the drum that spins the bale?

 

[jakethesnake]

Those belts will last a long time

 

[jakethesnake]

Mine have been pretty smooth for years I bale 150 or so bales a year with it probably a tad more There are also aftermarket belts available

 

[dall]

i think my uncle does about 300 a year he bales 5 or 6 different farms

That's what I'm wondering. Thought you could run a vermer until the laces wouldn't hold. At least the drum drive type like my former 505L.

There are times I wish that was all I baled a year

 

[dall]

a buddy of mine does over 1000 but he sells some also

 

[concretegrazer]

I've cut back a lot. No money in selling rounds unless it's a drought.
