I am about in same boat with chevytaHOE5674. I located a cheap non working 850 chain baler for $200, then put another $100 in it to get it running. Baled a couple years with it, then bought one of the Hesston 530's. Baled about 50 bales with it, and drug out the old NH and sold the Hesston. While the belt baler makes a prettier bale, and is quieter, the NH does something the Hesston did not, and that is bale anything I can drive over, pretty much as fast as i can drive over it, never plug, and not spill hay out the sides of the pickup. During those 50 bales I was under it twice unplugging the thing, in 95 degree heat. I have never had to unplug the old New Holland. I do agree with the chain baler making a uglier bale with more loss, and the bales being loose means the hay does not keep as well in the weather and I store the bales outside and sell them, however, I had better luck selling the big bales than the small bales from the Hesston. No doubt I may eventually go back to a belt baler, but I hope it does not exhibit some of the same symptoms as the Hesston, or it will be gone as was the Hesston. Everyone has their own preference, and I would prefer a better quality bale, but I cannot justify several thousand dollars to bale a hundred bales a year and sell most of them.
