I recently bought an EZ Trail Bale Basket, only the 2nd one I've ever laid eye's on. I finally got to use it yesterday. All I can say is- This thing is FANTASTIC!. Once I got it figured out ( to the tune of 3 shear bolts on the flywheel) it worked flawlessly. Any issues where related to operator error, ie- it doesn't like sharp corners any more than a kicker does. It also allowed me to see that there are still a couple issues with my ancient NH68 baler related to the flywheel bushing and shear pin bushing. Hey, it's 57 years old! I'm 56 and my parts are pretty worn too! On the long smoothly curving sections or straight runs the 68 just spit out blocks of hay and the basket collected them without a pause. I'm impressed. For anyone who is still loading off the bale chute or doesn't want to go to a kicker or accumulator system, I'd strongly consider the bale basket alternative.
