Erik in our area, and I'm not sure if it's not the same everywhere, you can buy a 5 foot wide bale cheaper than a 4 foot wide one. The reason for this, as best I can figure out, is it is easier to haul the 4 foot wide bales side by side on a semi trailer with less overhang. So there fore the 5 foot baler is less desirable. I buy and sell some equipment and just recently bought a 530 John Deere baler from a Deere dealer for $3k. It is a one owner baler with no damage, excellent paint, and no rust. Always stored in inside. If you are baling basically for your self, in my opinion, the bigger the bale the less amount of exposure to weather if you leave yours outside, and also you have to feed less as you put out probably 25% more hay in a 5 foot bale then a 4 foot bale, maybe more. I have always said I wish they would develop a 10 x 12 baler, less bales to haul and feed more at a time. Again just a thought.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
