Getting tired of trying to coordinate my schedule with the baler owner's and the weather. Not going to be buying one soon...maybe next year. Just looking for ideas and opinions on which brands/models to consider.
Needs to be a high-moisture capable, variable chamber (4.5'-5' for high moisture, 6' for dry hay), 4' wide, and have net wrap. Closest dealers are JD (15 miles...but service has gone downhill since it became a branch of a big dealer) NH (42 miles) Agco (55 miles) and Vermeer (65 miles).
Guys that have baled for me have had Gehl, Vermeer, JD, and NH balers. Gehl made the poorest bales of those, and with no parts support any more, I wouldn't consider one of them anyway. Of the others, I'm leaning toward NH, but don't know what models to look for or avoid.
Thanks!
