Lancing, TN | We were one of the unfortunate people that bought two of these Fix Or Repair Daily machines. I used to tell dad they got the paint right - they painted them Ford Blue. And literally, the paint on the machine was excellent. The rest of the machine was literatly a project to be worked on every day. What made it worse, we put all our eggs in one basket. We had two new tractors, new 575 balers, and new bale bandits. Not all the problems were major, they just put you out of service - 1st day using one of them - 1st hour - hydraulic line blew off the crimp - saturday evening and at that time we did not have a crimping machine - as a matter of fact, these machines forced us to buy our own machine as we constantly had hydraulic lines blow- toward teh end, we eventually replaced most of the major chinese lines with gates hoses and that problem was mostly solved. But with a full tool and die shop, we managed to keep one machine going each day with two machines available - got ot know the ups guy very well overnighting new circuit boards, hydraulic solenoids, sending monitors off to be repaired, etc. We finally sold one of the machines and put the other on a stationary baler. It still broke down every day, but as it was under a roof, you weren't fighting the weather to get it going again.
The package is not the best package for small square bales in the industry, but it is very good. The package is easily handled and loaded on trucks | |
