I have a Hesston PT-10, I would agree with Walt, it either works or its broke, I have some welding done, and I also need some additional welding done on the counterweight, I replaced the slip clutch, last year, no big job very easy, and rebuilt the cutter bar with new blades and bolt on with higher end hold down clips. The biggest thing is to make sure the timing is adjusted correctly for what you are cutting, I had a lot of problems and after the big belt broke as well, it clogged big time and the old belt broke, another thing I need to do this year is replace it, I finally bought a book, and read the timing issues, the reel must be set right to push the hay into the roller bars.. if it is too soon or late, based upon your hay, it will clog up... other than that it works faster than my old MF sickle mower, which is very slow,, but works as well.. If I had the money,, I would buy a disc mower,, but I have to use the old machines,, and baby them along.. I would be interested in a cheap parts machine as well...
