I purchased one of these and it was delivered in September. I will never do the level of hay you do, but I watch your videos with interest to see what problems may pop up with mine. I bet you though if you bought a new NH milstak ready stacker and put the bales on it like you have this that NH stacker would be broken much more then the Milstak. LOL. I toyed with the idea about buying the New Holland milstak ready version I think the 105. But our NH dealer isn't very good so I figured it was close to having no local dealer for the Milstak. ha ha. Your first walk around video was really helpful for me to find out about the machine.
I had a BW28 that we put over 10k hours on strictly with a mil-stak hauled hundreds of thousands of tons with it it was a great machine but couldn’t stack 6 high and it was a pain in the ass with leaf springs and what not.
@@SuperFriday88 I came from a Milstak on a NH 1089. It is ok, but power wise lacking. And not automatic at all like even the BW28 or 38 can be with the clamp.
I still haven’t figured it out I’m thinking the fan motor took a shit on that setting we tried putting a new switch control panel in and it didn’t work
I just bought a new sp3255 and the ride is not good. I'm assuming you adjusted the air valve under the cab to stiffen up the cab suspension ? To much bounce now.
Yep, first trip to Cummins at about 10 hrs. On another note, the ride in mine is terrible. You would not be able to stay in the seat w/o the seat belt, and then the seat bottoms out. Up and down up and down all across the field. About 15 mph is tops. How is yours?
The stingers are quite a bit slower I watched an 8500 in Idaho run for a bit it won’t run with a mil-stak and the pick the bale up the wrong direction so it’s way harder on the machine crossing pivot tracks or if your spinning bales odds are your breaking strings.. not a fan. Plus they are quite a bit more money
No we got to look at a couple and they are more money and can’t stack nearly as quick as a mil-stak and the mil-stak is the easiest on bales. Another up side is the mil-stak picks up the bales in the same direction the Baler drops them the stinger you ether have to turn the bale which increases strings breaking or go across the field which sucks in a pivot because of the pivot tracks.
@@SuperFriday88 gotcha that makes a lot of sense. I saw one a few years ago at the maize Corp baler school and thought it looked badass. I never see them so it was interesting
@@Smonhaut the stingers are better for the 1 ton bales than the mil-stak. But honestly I’d rather run a pull type mil-stak over a stinger I was not impressed with them at all for the price tag.

@@marcjoster oh yeah the 28 can be fully auto with a software update
Good video how did you fix your fan switch cuz mine is not working on number three either

Yes we aired them up to where they were about to pop and then we let all the air out of the seat and it don’t ride to bad
Last year we purchased a new Milstak and love it. Our only issues have been with the Cummins emissions. Have you had any similar problems
Yes Cummins emissions is by far the worst in the industry

What’s the top travel speed, I’m thinking down a highway for transport with zero load
70mph

Have you compared it to a Stinger 8500?

No go on a stinger stacker? I know nothing about stack wagons it’s nothing that popular around my area
