[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1817106, member: 9198"] I f I feel your pain. I have a NH BR780 that has spent more time in the shop than the field. It would choke at the drop of a hat. Belts would swap places, would not sense "full bale", etc, etc. Took it back to the shop for the third time this season but still had hay on the ground to finish. Dealer loaned me one of his 648's he took in on trade to finish my field. Jumped on a wind row a little timidly but soon running as fast as I wanted to. That old baler never missed a beat, never clogged and tied bales perfectly. It was noisey as heII with the gear drive instead of chains but worked perfectly. I don't have any experience with any other baler but I'm thinking it might be more OE (operator error) than anything else. I did thighten the clutch on the pickup reel which helped a little on the choking but full bale sensing remains a problem today. Almost caught the baler on fire because someone else was running the baler and didn't bother to look back to see where the bale was. When the 7' bale was ejected it was smoking. Dealer was no help at all and never offered to come to the field to help me get it right. Don't think it would have made ant difference since a 17 YO kid would not be any help. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
