Look at the mesh wrap JD 459E baler. It is a good baler and it has the mesh wrap you want. You can get the baler with kicker ramps that will roll the bale back so you do not have to back up.
As for Claus balers. My first round baler was a Claus Rollant 56 with mesh wrap. That was in 1984. It was a good baler but it is a drum baler so you have the soft core. IF you run it correctly you can get a good solid bale. You have to give it time, just like any other baler, to compress the hay into a good solid bale. I used it on my Oliver 1655. When the monitor beeped telling me it was within six inches of full I would drop the hydraul shift into low and let the baler make more rounds while finishing the outside of the bale. The bales did not sag like many soft core bales. It was the operator that made the difference. The baler made a 4x5 bale. In dry hay I could easily get 1200-1300 LBS. bales. Now if you just kept a high ground speed you would fill the chamber without really making a hard bale. That is what too many drum baler owners do and end up with sorry looking bales. Their make lots of bales but they do not have the hay in them they should.
I Bought my First JD baler in 1992. It was a JD 535 with mesh wrap. I owned that baler for eight years and baled over 45,000 bales with it. I replaced it with a JD 566 with mesh wrap and the Mega pickup. That baler baled over 75,000 bales before I traded it in on a JD 568 in 2010. That baler currently has baled over 42,000 bales. So I can say JD balers are good balers.
New Holland and Vermeer make good balers too but in corn stalks neither of them will bale with the JD balers.
