    Windguard for Vermeer 605 Baler

    I bought a used Vermeer 605xl round baler a few years ago. The windguard is missing. What is its purpose and how important is it? Baler seems to work OK but it does plug easily when trying to start a new bale. The baler has about 8400 bales on it and I only bale 50 acres a year.

    Vermeer WR20 Question

    I have an 8-wheel Vermeer rake WR20 and I am looking for a way to lower only one side on occasion. I think I can mount a bracket and reattach the lift arm but I thought I would seek advise first. Any suggestions Pro or Con are appreciated.

    My Tree Was Making Noise...

    I was working on my fence and trimming some brush. I kept hearing a funny noise coming from one of the trees. I found this hole where it was coming from but I knew better than to stick my head in there. So I stuck my camera in the hole to see what it was... Raccoon and at least 2 babies.

    More Kubota Confusion

    OK, I did search but I have not found the answer. Kubota M9540 - manual says for the front axle case and the front differential that you can use either UDT Hydraulic fluid OR SAE 80-90 gear oil. There is a big difference in these two types of oil. Dealer says they put in UDT Hydraulic fluid...

    Vermeer 605XL End Wrap Adjustment

    I am trying to adjust the end wrap to be farther from the edge of the bale. In the manuals it refers to an end wrap position switch on the baler but it does not give any instruction on where it is or how to set it. I was hoping this could be set with the bale monitor but apparently not. Thanks...

    Options for Round Balers

    I am looking for a new round baler for personal use (not commercial). The MF/Heston 1745 looks like what I need. I have questions about some of the options like Gathering Wheels, Auto-tie, Bale ramp, and counter. Are these items necessary or just nice to have? I will be baling about 100...
