What's your opinion of a NH 851 with 1 yr old chains, auto tie, kicker? Thinking of baling alfalfa, cornstalks, and a bit of ditch hay.

And the always popular & hard to answer, what's it worth? :)

paul, i use a NH849 (5 x 5) bale, chain dirve, i'm no expert. the chain will bale at any moisture although the bale may stick in the chamber at unload time if moisture is too high. people say belts shape bales better than chain, but i think i have the best looking bales around here. i think it has to do with ground speed and weaving left to right as you bale to get high density at the sides of the bale. chain (the tubes) don't like rocks, sticks an limbs will bend the tubes that can be repaired but rocks will kink the tube. Check the chain for wear, condition of guide rollers and pick up reel. dents in the lower rear of the door means a diet of rocks. its getting close to the wrong time of year to purchase hay equipment. around here field ready balers bring $1800 to $3500 to sky high. i don't mean to start any arguments about belts vs chain. i'm just comparing my bales with my neighbors.

I have never suceeded in getting as good a bale with chains as with belts. The don't weather as well and don't sell as well. They will bale almost anything. I keep one as a back-up and to make baleage. Also at 5-1/2' wide you can get in trouble trucking 2 wide. I would sell mine, 2yrd old chains with all new bearings and paint for $4500, central KY (hydraulic tie, no kicker).
I bought an NH650 (belt baler) new when they first came out. It makes a better bale, a lot faster, but won't handle high or low moistures like the 851. Hope this helps.
