Subject: RE: Hesston Stackhands, Where did they go?



There are still a few floating around E. Wash. My neighbor has a 30A he uses for grass hay. I have a 30 i was using for grass and alfalfa until 4 years ago, when I changed to a 4900 hesston. They are cheap to run and do a pretty good job(definitely cheaper than big baler). Just can't sell a loaf of alfalfa. The loafs were pretty good about not being rain damaged too much. Lost about 6 inches on top. If you stacked in rows of 10 deep end to end, and then made next row by it, you didn't lose much to wind either. The 30A loafer didn't lose as much alfalfa out the top. The perforated screen on top seemed to act as a sieve and cut leaves off. 30A had louvers and didn't see much loss (neighbor helped stack my alfalfa one year). Grass stack was around 2 ton +, Alfalfa was close to 3 ton. Could still get parts from Hesston last i checked.
