That is definitely a #30. I hope you also got the necessary baler modification parts required to complete the install of this thrower. One piece is the left side axle extension that moves the left wheel towards the rear about 8". This is necessary to make up for the weight shift of the installed thrower. And then you need the hydraulic pump, the belts, the anti slip tape for the flywheel and the idler tension pulley to keep the thrower belts tight. We use a remote 2.5" X 8" hydraulic cylinder on the right side of the bale case to control the left-right throw angle. There is also an electric motor drive to control the distance wheel (plus the cab switch to control the motor).

We are running #30, #40, & #42 throwers on 4 different balers. They are basically the same with some improvements along the way. One possible problem which can't be seen, is the throw cylinder has a coil spring inside which may break and thus the throw is not cushioned at the end of its throw lift. The shock at the end of the "up" cycle can then destroy the big H frame which moves the aluminum pan. Another likely problem is in the distance control valve. It may seize due to water/rust and not move to its detent position (spring loaded steel balls). If this is stuck, the baler will be trying to power the thrower continuously, taking a lot of PTO power, and heating up the hydraulic oil with unnecessary wear on the hydraulic pump. The replacement valve is expensive, but I have disassembled the tail end of the valves (Allen screws) and cleaned them to work again.

Fortunately this series of throwers have a safety lock out handle that prohibits them from throwing. Keep in mind that anytime the flywheel is turning, it can possibly throw, and it can be quicker than you can move out of the way. Do NOT put any body parts within the cage while the flywheel is turning, it can be fatal!

You will need the missing side spring on the pan, buy 2 and put the extra one in the baler tool box. They do break and then it it tries to throw with only one side spring, it becomes an uneven throw. possibly doing damage to the thrower. If you maintain these throwers, they last for many 100,000 bales. Just do not expect to throw wet 100# bales, it beats the H_11 out of the thrower.
