    Ford 530 baler issue(s)

    I wasnt having trouble getting knots to tie when turning the baler manually. My problem was whether or not those knots would pull off the bill finger once out in real world action.

    Ford 530 baler issue(s)

    Im new here and to working on farming equipment in general. Im a pretty good nuts and bolts guy but find that working on some of these older pieces of farming equipment takes a little more knowledge and experience than just knowing how to replace components! So heres my current problem and...
