Question for ya ?? Seems Toyota rav 4 & highlanders all years seem to have warping issues ? Like your input on or if you heard the cause for these issues ? Also have you had warping going on ? & Did you use different brand rotors or pads or both ?? Thanks for any input on that ! I'm not sure if it's mechanics not cleaning hub good & calipers too or it's bad metal composition or caliper design, or their not torquing everything to spec even though it's a dealerships or reg mechanic or DYI

I can't say that we have had warping issues in the approx 250K miles on the Highlander. We have had several calipers seize up though. Maybe yours are dragging ever so slightly causing heat build-up?

What a beautiful property! I know the campers appreciated such a nice spot. I have a similar thick, low, grassy area under my powerlines that always seems to stay damp. The only way to stay ahead of it is to bushhog it four or five times during the growing season. This summer's drought made it a bit easier.

We bought one for 500 at auction. Parts are a problem!! They have not made Hesston in 40 years. Parts are only available from junk yards. Also, you need to watch that the bale is rolling evenly in the machine as you go along. It was cheap, What did you give?
@SkylineAcresVA
@SkylineAcresVA Ай бұрын
I wonder if you're thinking of a different model. I was able to get on Agco's website, and practically every part is available. I just bought a new twine knife for it. I don't know the year ranges of the Hesston, but the Case 8420, which is the same baler, looks like it was made from 1988-2000. Mine has a serial number that starts with 04 (not sure if that's indicative of the year)

I made one about twenty years ago out of a 3" x 10' stick of pvc. At first, I made a bracket for the 3 pt hitch. Later adapted it to fit on the bucket of my front end loader. I also did the same thing you did and clip the seed heads whenever I saw them. You will knock the johnson grass back, a lot, by using these methods. The problem here in GA is that I have a fescue field and the fescue slows considerably during the hot dry months of July and August and the Johnson Grass loves the hot weather. It grows tall and will choke out the shorter grasses.
@SkylineAcresVA
@SkylineAcresVA Ай бұрын
Since that application, the Johnsongrass was probably eliminated by 80% the next year. I used the wick and clipped seed heads again this year on the remaining 20%. Should be down to almost nothing in the next year or 2

I had a Hesston 5545 round baler, which made a 4x5 bale. Bought it used, used it for ten years, and sold it for the same price I paid for it. Those are good balers. Very simple, not much can go wrong with them, and parts are readily available. They are not a "fast" baler, as it takes time to stop and tie a bale. But as you said, the advantage is that you are not pressed to get them out of the field the way you do with a square bale. One thing I had to do with my baler was cut all the belts the same length. I had to replace a couple of the belts and the remainder of the belts were stretched. Took the old belts off and cut them to the same length as the new ones. And yes, you need to address the loose chain. What I did with my control box was to attach a magnetic base from one of those nut and bolt trays. This allowed me to set the controller on the top of the fender when I was baling and easily remove it when not in use.

@anythingadrenaline4515 this one was super heavy b/c it is the taller 330 gallon tote and then it was neatly stacked above the rim. Maybe in the 1,700 ‐ 1,900 lb range? The more common 275 gallon totes are shorter and much lighter. Maybe like 1,200lb or so. Don't have to fill it all the way up either.

I started with a bale spear, after my 1st season went to a bale hugger. Look on marketplace, makes stacking so much easier. I ran lines from rear remotes to front loader, just unplug when I need rear remotes. I use it on my Kubota L2850 so you could too. Anyway great purchase!!
