MB, Canada | I've been running a VB 3190 for a number of years now. Just traded in last summer for a new one. My 'old' one had 12k bales on it but I'd done a bunch of custom work with it so it was a pretty hard 12k bales (gotta love people who don't pick their rocks). I keep an infrared thermometer in the tractor and the day I sold it the bearings were still running as cool as the day I bought it.
It's pretty much unpluggable if you aren't a total madman with it. Toughest I put it through was 70% moisture mature sorghum sudan that I ran with the knives in and made 10 silage bales to the acre. Never found I needed more horsepower than my 4440 but eventually the slip clutch goes if you push it too hard. With the VB 3190 you just drop the knives and usually that allows it to clear itself.
Worth finding someone around with the right size of metric chain in case you need a link but besides a few joiner links I just didn't have much go wrong with it. | |
