Useless for straw and can be a headache in slippery hay, but other than that a good unit. Make sure the belts track well. A bale in it can/will make them track completely different, so see if you can try it out first. Like mentioned, it is a small bale, so be aware of that. A 4x5 bale has 56% more hay in it, a 4x6 has 125% more hay. There may be a basic monitor that gives you an idea of bale shape, but I don't know if it was available on the 638. Without a monitor, all you can do is weave and look between the belts at the bale shoulders, and hope you get a decent looking bale. Not a whole lot to go wrong on them with the exception of belt tracking. Has an excellent view of the pickup. If it has any problems, price out what it will cost to fix. CNH/Fiat thinks highly of their parts, so something that seems simple could cost you alot of money. This applies to basically every manufacturer, but CNH seems to be getting worse.
