I understand wanting a backup baler. We've been using a 273 for a few years, baler didn't miss and was reliable however it was getting worn and didn't make nice consistent bales. We found a 315 for a decent price, but it didn't work out as well as we'd hoped. The hydraulic tensioner had a little bit of a learning curve to it. The different kicker designer seemed to burn strings much easier. Needless to say, I think the 273 may have baled more squares than the 315 this year. It was good to have the backup.
Big differences are:
315 is a good bit bigger and heavier.
315 feeder finger assembly is completely different than the 273
315 is much quieter
315 can take more hay at a faster rate. We were having a good bit of issues shearing pins with the 273 before the 315 came.
315 kicker design to be able to fold up and drop on the ground is a great feature.
315 seems slightly more complex in the drive mechanisms for pickup, feed, etc.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
