we tested a new krone about 7 years ago and it would not pick-up the twine to wrap the bale. 7 out of 10 bales you had to get off and hook the twine, the dealer couldn't get to work. we ended up with a vermeer.--mike

A new 5400 Rebel is $11,500 aand needs only 40 HP to make a 1200 LBS 5x4 bale. If it is not a VERMEER you are not running the best.

I have been told that M&W built the Krone balers. If that is so I would not be afraid of it if it looks pretty sound as far as mechanical condition. I like the type of bale that my baler makes, and that is what counts for me. I do very little custom work maybe a five acre patch for someone and sell a little hay. I will admit that if I was going to sell a lot of hay and do a lot of hauing it I would want a tighter bale than I get with my M&W, but and am baling it for my use and I like them just fine.

I have seen some bales made by them and have seen a couple in action. I personally think they are junk. I will stick with my 530 Deere and am planning on adding a 535 w/net wrap in a year or so. The Krones will bale but I just don't like them and I'm sure there are those that are just the opposite from me on this. Its what anyone in particular wants. I just prefer running the popular brand equipment. I operate a custom hay baling business and the customers like seeing that Deere in the field.

Krone is quality. made first disc assemb. for NH and JD haybines. Balers I used are chain not belts so little noisey but I they would bale fence posts. first round baler I ran -rented a 130 and couldn't plug it, couldn't afford krone even used so bought used vermeer-no joy-traded for NI(best trade 1.something finance) new & not as good a machine as a rented Krone

Funny, to my knowledge Kuhn made the first disc cutters for Deere and New Holland, not Krone? I had a New Holland 462 disc mower and all it was was a Kuhn painted in new holland colors. Good cutter!
