Having read the responses so far here's a bit more info. One the bales they want to break up are 4x4x8 rectangular bales. The size they want to rebale to is 14x18xXX, or possibly even smaller for some of the nich markets that they have been looking into also. The reason they want to do this, instead of buying new equipment, is that doing so would be extreemly cost prohibitive given the amount of equipment involved in their operation. I don't know what all they would be replacing to do this but I imagine the cost to them would most likely be in the million dollar plus range. Their thought is why spend all this money on new equipment when spending a fraction of that on this setup would actually start making them money. I don't understand all the where fores and where alls, etc in this deal, and their profit margines aren't my concern (((as long as I get paid...))) but from my understanding they have ran the numbers and it will work out great if we can get get things worked out. In fact the first time they ran the setup, as is, it was doing the job but they were having to use a bit more of manual labor to break up the clumps then they wanted to. If I can get it working smoother/better and eleminate the need for the manual labor then it'll be even more icing on the cake for them. Not to mention if they wanted to explore the nich markets for the small bales then all they would have to buy to get into that would be a bailer to do the size bail they wanted and not have to worry about any other 'properly sized' equipment to support it.
Beyond that I don't know anymore than what I have told so far. When things get rolling on this project I'll know more about exactly what's happening and can ask what I hope are more 'intellengent', 'informed' questions. Til then, Thanks again for any advice or suggestions ya'll can offer. Wayne

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
