W are looking a new Bale Bandit 200. We have used both the Bale bandit and Bale baron. We would be making 38-40 inch bales. The Baler baron seemed to bend the longer bales. Then during handling I preferred the steel bands over the twine. I already have a grabber but even then we had some of the Bale Baron cubes break apart when trying to push them into a semi.
We have been working on this for a couple of years now. There are several things that need to work together. 1) storage, IE sheds. We are not going to tarp stacks of hay. 2)Field rotations and location of the sheds. 3)The market/resale end. 4) Other equipment needed/required. The numbers we are looking at show us needing to handle/make 100-125 thousand bales a year. This would be on top of the round bales we need for animal feed. We are looking at replacing 30-50% of our grain production. The long term numbers look better but the weather makes it more risky.
The one wild card is we are trying to possibly contract straw baling/purchasing. The end buyers we are talking to are very interested in us supplying both hay and straw. The Straw would have to be baled in Kansas or the Dakotas.

"Barry Seiler, owner of Country Town Farm Supply store used to invite people up to the Johne Deere store. He would give hats and a free meal for everyone that brings a tractor." Elliott said while this
