    How many use safety chains?

    We use the chains when on the road as req'd by Ontario's MTO. In the field, not very often as we have found good success with employing cotter pins on all the hitch pins to retain them....as long as the don't break.

    What is the bin capacity of a Massey 300 w/QA?

    We pulled out the "new to us" Massey 300 yesterday and were debating the bin capacity. The previous owner left the op. manual in the cab where mice have taken most of it for nest bedding. Would any previous or current owners know the bin capacity? Thank you.

    336 JD Baler slip clutch question

    We bought this baler at auction 2 yrs. ago and after a good greasing and sharpening it works great even with the stooker on behind.
