    I’ve got a M8040 Vermeer mower and I’m having issues with the hex shaft breaking. It’s a 2 piece shaft and I’ve replaced it 2 separate times this season and the last time was today 8-23. I’ve maybe mowed 10 acres and it’s broke again. I’m using a 4ish foot breaker bar to tighten the big nut and...

    Hi all, I just received my (new) Vermeer TM610 hay mower. Everything about it is working excellently, except that I'm having an issue with an un-mowed strip at times (inconsistently, though often the same spot in the field), seemingly no matter how much I overlap. It happens on the left-hand...

    I recently purchased a used Vermeer Rebel 5400 round baler and have a question regarding the twine arms. When I retract the twine arms and then run them back out, the twine in one or both twine arms retracts back inside the tubes. As I've been going through and servicing I've replaced the...

    Curious if anyone has had any experience with one of these rakes. Pros/Cons? My entire fleet of equipment is Vermeer due to dealer support and being well built. I currently am running a Vermeer R23 bar rake. This rake is amazing, though it just doesn't work the best for my odd shaped fields. I...

    I,m looking to replace my New Holland 790 net-wrap baler with a new Vermeer. The New Holland could bale at speed upwards of 10 mph with bales remaining uniform. I find the NH baler too light- the Vermeer looks to be a heavier baler. Just wondering how others' experiences with the Vermeer have...

    I am thinking about getting a new wheel rake. I currently have a New Holland 57 pto driven rolabar rake and I love it. I started doing over half of my rolls in haylage last year and the rake never has a problem making a windrow no matter how thick. The only issue is I am only getting 8.5 feet...
