Where I am it's probably over 90% JD stuff, others are quite rare. Deere dealer is the closest and only 30 miles away. And I don't know anyone that has the smaller balers. I've had an old 535 for 12 years. It probably had over 10000 bales on it when I got it, and I've more than doubled that. It's easy to work on myself, few breakdowns, nobody has worked on it but me since I got it. I look at it before going into the field and it has not once cost me time in breakdowns. My next one will be a Deere. Second choice is probably ...Vermeer over New Holland, though I know Vermeer takes a bit more power and the bales aren't as neat (not a concern since I don't sell any), just like the way the Vermeers look/work a bit better. Neighbor did have a 664 ? New Holland he bought new, had some issues.
Started with an 1855 Oliver, then White 2-105, then JD 4240. I had a section of ground I went over for a few years with it about 8 miles away, had some hills that a person would worry about tipping the tractor over, didn't have issues with the 1855. Here, my ground is fairly flat and grass is much thicker. Only time it thinks about dragging the tractor down is if I'm in a low spot with a very thick full windrow that a person can barely drive over. Otherwise, 99% of the time can't tell the baler is back there. ~100HP is the sweet spot for that size of baler in my hay and type of ground.
