With the new to us Haybob soon to see action it needed a fair bit of work to get it ready, I new what it needed when we bought it but it was in the right price range and local!
This is with all the repairs done, the tines are held up with return springs and the tines flick out when it gets up to speed, all the spring were broken, the tine holders were worn down and all the pivot blocks were worn
The wheels needed work with a good clean up, new tubes and wheel bearings
Repairs to the stand as that was all bent
Its always a lottery picking the time to cut and bale as you need 6-7 days good weather which has been difficult this year!
Cut and the Haybob worked really well and we got the hay dry in 4 days rather than 5
Which gave us 742 bales, which was 100 more than last year!
