5510 HESSTON

[Tony L]

I found a 5510 rounder and the electric tie is not working. I was told by the original owner that it was just the switch. I have never owned a Hesston rounder but I have heard good things. Is there any tricks or anything to really watch with the baler? I am using this one as a back up only since my 845 came apart. I am going to use it wed. if everything goes right.

I have a Hesston 5530 with manual tie. Had never used a round baler before mid last season. I found this extremely easy to use, no problems ever starting bales, and only ended up with a couple of "Weebles" out of the first 100 plus bales, until I got the "weaving" perfected. Only issue with mine was a dull knife, and I had to keep getting off the tractor to cut the twine with a knife. Glad my square baler broke!
