I have become interested in trying to make more consistent bales with the JD328 to make the loads better. I added BaleSkis and they helped alot. Besides making denser bales with less pressure the baler also misses tying less often. It never missed much, but now it is rare. I am thinking about adding the AirBaler because we have som areas with light, fine hay that it may help with.
We couldn't be happier.

Very interesting that you mention the BaleSkis. I really considered the BaleSkis when I was gonna buy a 24T. The 336 baler I have now, has been super! So, I've backed away from getting it.
But, if I understand the BaleSkis installation correctly; it may add life to the baler's bale chamber and hold off on the day when welding might be required to keep the 'ol baler going! Is that correct?
Your production numbers are quite a bit higher than ours. My wife and I bale around 750 bales for our use (although I normally sell some hay in the Spring after I know we'll have enough until the new hay is ready).
Last season, we baled another 2,500 for the neighbors. Used his accumulator and grabber. He's got a Hoelscher 10-bale system. It works very well... but, it's only 3-4 year's old. The accumulator is kinda complicated... be interested to see how it holds up over the long haul.
Thanks.
