It"s real dilema, Allan;the devil you know or the devil you don"t. You"ve got $1538 into it and you baled 500 bales with it.You work for cheap so another $3500, a total of $5038 + your labor at $0.50/hr(Grin!) and you"ll have it like new and you can do how many bales? You figure a replacement will cost you near $16,000 so if you really figure your labor to rebuild it is worth $10,962 or more, seems to me you ought to get the new machine. But what are you gonna" do when the snow flies, between feedin"s? Polish your new baler? I doubt it!
I"ve been readin" your posts for about five years now and I figure you have to be twins to do all the stuff you do. You"ll find some other piece of equipment you can fix up and spend the time between polishin" the new baler and feedin" to fix up something or another. Heck, If you"re gonna" do that, might as well just fix that ol" hoss and run another 5,000 bales through it. The money you save can be spent on diesl fuel that"s gonna" cost $6.50 a gallon next year!
