I'm thinking about getting a bigger baler and I wanted to know what everyone's opinion is about an inline baler. I rather have a wire baler than a twine, J.D. 224 wire baler is what I run now. Old and slow but very reliable. On inline balers are parts higher, harder to get, harder to work on, etc. Any help would be great. Thanks

We've got a 4570 inline Hesston and love it. New Hollands are good, JD's are OK, but the Hesstons are very very well engineered in comparison. Make sure you get one with the hydraulic tensioner and hydraulic pick up.

The big advantages with the inline is the consistant bales, lowest leaf loss of any baler, and widest pickup on the market.

This year we went from a NH 310 and 270 baler to a Hesston 4590 and so far we are very happy with it. The inline balers are different to work on than a conventional baler but I don't think they are any harder to work on, the parts are just in different places. Our's has the hydraulic tension which we thought would make for more consistant bales but I really don't know if it's needed with these balers. I think the pressure guage on the tension reads 0-800 pounds and we have been running just enough to get the needle off the 0 peg. Even with almost no tension on the bales it will make the most consistant bales I've ever seen, we even went from alfalfa to wheat straw and never had to touch it. So far we've baled 370 bales of alfalfa and 1,980 of straw and it's missed three bales, one was the first bale, the second was when switching bales of twine and the third was due to a bale of twine that wasn't wound right and got knotted up inside. So far we are very happy with the baler and it would take alot to get us back to a side pull baler.

Curious, does the 4590 have restrictors in it and is yours new? Could that be why you get by with so little Hyd. pressure? My JD 336 is not as consistant as I would like but the restrictors (1 set) are really worn. I was thinking new ones would help. Bob

It does have the restrictor doors in the chamber and we should probably back them out a little further and run more pressure on the tension. This baler is 10 years old but it's only baled 50,000 bales so it's pretty close to being a new baler. The inline balers have a pre-packer chamber in the feeding mechanism that's designed to put the same amount of hay into the plunger every time and that's alot of the reason why they make such a consistant bale.
