Last year, my brother-in-law decided to retire. He had a good business built up, selling round baled hay. I decided to step in, and fill the "void". He turned over his list of customers to me. SO....I had to find a good round baler. The bro-in-laws old IH was shot. He offered to sell it to me. I graciously declined. If I'm going to have to learn to work on one, I thought it would be better to learn how to work on a more modern one. About the time I decided to buy a new one, my wife stepped in, and bought me one as a birthday present. I thought she was saving for a new car. Boy was I ever surprised! With a little snooping, she figured out that I was wanting a new Vermeer 5400 Rebel. That's what I got. I have baled about 350 bales with it so far. eEnough to tell that I like it. It rolls very nice looking, tight bales, with little load on the tractor. I use a 60 HP tractor. When selling hay, the appearance is as important as the quality. This baler makes my "marketing" much easier. I have found that the Vermeer dealers are very co-operative, and willing to help out when I need a question answered. All in all, a pleasant experience. Add all of this to the fact that Vermeer balers sell for less than the competition, and you have a "no-brainer" if you want a new baler. If I was buying used, all of these factors would influence my pick, in much the same way. I would recommend Vermeer to anyone planning on buying a new baler. More specifically, the Rebel 5400. You won't go wrong. JMHO, John
