What can they do you can't? If they replaced lace pins, chains, retimed, etc I woul say yes. I have never though it was worth the $$$.

 

keep a infrired heat detector on your tractor at all time check the temp on all bearing exp the interior one that are hard to get to note the differance in temps from first bale to about 25 anything hi should be check out quick this goes for chains also get a normal to start at

 

You can look at belts, chains, sprockets and bearings the same as them. It isn't worth it to me. I think it is like $200.

 

I personally don't think it's worth it unless you don't feel comfortable doing some minor repairs yourself.

 

You can get the tech manual and do the same thing as JD, however it's more than opening up your baler and looking for damage and missing parts. You'll also need to check your baler against baler specs to determine if it's in or out of spec which will help you find the damaged and missing parts as well. The advantage that you'll have is that you can keep an eye on those things that are still in spec but heading toward being out of spec and try to determine why it is going out of spec before it gets there.
