The 566 would be a good choice as well. The pickup and starter roll system is way better than the 535, even though you can still encounter problems. 566 does not have the hydraulic tying system like the 30, 35 series do, as the 6 series and now 7 series are all electric. This make adjusting tying options, speed, spacing and end adjustments all done from inside the cab thru the electronic monitor, and really takes about 30 seconds to do once you have the system figured out. Sure there is more electronics on the 6 series, and some people do not like that idea, but the 6 series have come a long ways. Now the fun part is the net wrap feature. The most common problem with this feature is proper adjustment of the gaurds, rollers and linkage on the wrap system. Also it makes a difference on the type of ground cover you have. I can not emphasize enough the importnace of using the talc lubricant, (Just plain ole baby powder) that Deere recomends. This will defeat the static electricity and allow the net to feed properly through the rollers and not "stick" and jamb up. You can string tye a round bale in about a minute with a 5 foot baler, and 7 seconds with the wrap. You can get up to 50 more bales per day on average just using the wrap, some cases over 100. Not uncommon tohear of a guy putting up 325 rolls in a day. The new 7 series balers are really sweet on the feedng and drive system for the net wrap. Basically trouble free. Much better than the 6 series, but you have to pay for that new baler. You can make a 6 series run all day long with no problem, the key is knowing how the system works, or having a good tech to help you out. Whew, that was windy, hope this helps, Good Luck
