[AT] Loose hay/round balers

[Ralph Goff]

Ed
Thanks for your comments. This is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping
for. Somebody that actually owns and uses one of these balers. I wish I had
taken a pic of this 847 on the lot. The paint looks really good so it must
have been stored inside as its an early 80s model. I didn't know if chain
oiling was a good idea or not considering they run in a fair bit of dust at
times.
Good to see some activity on the list. Its been one of the slowest days in a
long time and I can't help thinking that there is something wrong. We are
never that quiet.
