Was at the dealer lot last week and they had a New Holland BC5050 - which I gather is an updated verison of the 565?
Been reading a lot about the 316 and 311 New Holland balers and come away with the impression that they are/were some of the finest balers New Holland ever made.
One thing that jumped out at me on the BC5050 is that they still use the flow action feeding mechanism - tine bar with feeding forks, vs the packer fork system of the larger capacity New Holland balers.
Question is - what baler in New Holland's past would the 565 and BC5050 baler's compare to in terms of capacity and similarity? I'm thinking the 311 and/or 316.
Thanks,
Bill
