I don't know where you are in WI Steve but in the Western Wi it was a very hard year to make hay. So waiting for someone is not an option in my mind. You got a lot of great comments, especially from Bruce. If you cannot find a large square baler guy to hire that can be there when you want him, then it would seem you would be better off investigating further the market for the type of baler you either have or can afford for your size operation.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'.
