    Posted: Yesterday at 7:52am
I recently picked up a roto baler that seems to be in decent shape and I have received a spring kit form agrisom already along with a manual but my trouble is I am missing both discharge springs on the back. Are those available somewhere or would a garage door spring work? These are pretty rare in my area so spare machines are hard to come by let alone someone who’s ever used one!

Thanks

If you don’t mind checking and would be willing to ship to Maine that would be awesome. Still tempted to try a garage door spring. Weather is starting to look better to get hay on the ground and want to try it out before I commit to cutting any. Any thoughts on how rugged the discharge spring are?

I have never seen one of those springs that was broken,don't think a garage door spring would be nearly as strong/stiff.Will check when I get the chance.

Thanks Gary. My other thought was a trip spring off a snow plow. The springs on my baler are missing completely so I’ve got no idea what size they possibly were. Was hoping someone had been through it before.

A rotobaler is the most rube goldberg piece of farm equipment ever invented. Trying to use a non original part is a sure to induce a high degree of anguish or end up in the b section of the newspaper. I have a couple of springs on the shelf and a whole lot of other nos parts if gary can't help you out. Sadly, most of the brainpower for the rotobaler is no longer with us. A drawback of using a 70 year old machine. Good luck!!

If you have some already ready to go I'm fine with you fellows making the deal as I'm not really equiped to ship parts.

I’m probably being impatient trying to get this thing going🤣 I’ve only seen one other rusted out one in person besides the one I bought I’m sure I will have a lot of questions when I get everything priced together. Probably will only do a few hundred bales a year if I can get it going. If not it will look nice parked next to the rest of the orange stuff 🤣

Unfortunately my owners manual doesn’t call out the part number only that they are the discharge springs.
