This is spot on. With a powershift you can fly along on 10 mph in giant windrows with these things as they only need the power the last 1/8 or so of forming the bale. Slowing down to 2.5 mph or so you can pack another 100-150 lbs of hay in while it tightens up the bale.
With the pressure gauge pegged it will load up a 100 pto hp tractor a bit but makes a good bale with a soft centre that we’ve had less trouble with moisture/ dust than with hard core bales.
I don’t think it’s accurate to say it’s a exactly a Claas design, my understanding is the original design was licensed to vicon, Claas and OMC(later gehl and mf) and they all have that little roller baler icon somewhere on them showing they are licensed. The Claas is built metric and the Omc gehl are sae so many things don’t interchange properly.
Luckily very basic units, average machine shop can fab most of it as mentioned. I think the most common repairs are the pressure manifold thing with the relief valve leaking down, next is the double sprocket that’s down low spitting out the gib key and wrecking the keyways.
