Kind of a set-up question - if you really owned & ran both, you wouldn't have to ask us. You'd keep the one in better shape that did what you wanted done.

Chain balers are hard on alfalfa, but work well on cornstalks & tough conditions.

Not familiar with that belt baler, but if an open throat model they are typically the better machine for high-quality finer hay.

All depends on which is the better kept machine & what crop you are baling most of tho.

I perfer belt balers, but that being said:
I would look at which one I can get parts/service for
which one is in better shape. and which one do I perfer to run.
One other thing I would consider is what other people around me have as all balers have their quirks and maybe a neighbor/friend could help me sometime if I needed it

My self I would keep the chain baler unless its wore out, but I prefer the chain balers because they seem to hold up better then the belt type do with less work keeping them going
