Hi Mark, Well, my baler isn't the standard in my area either. Several guys have the old NewHolland 848. It does the job, it's versatile, and it will make a nice bale if the operator is careful, but it doesn't have the capacity. In real terms, my baler makes a bale that weighs between 700-750 # in hay, and probably 1200 in haylage. So, they're ot large bales, but it's still a lot of tonnage in any class. the other side of that is that everything has to be done right, and work flawlessly. We now use a 14' Kuhn rake that makes a big even row, so that poor old baler is running at it's maximum. It takes more time to tie off than to fill the bale. The best I ever did was 58 bales in 60 minutes, flat. My daily averages have run from the mid 30's to the low 50's per hour, BUT, I'm just a little bit manical about how I do things..... That said, the Claas is still a good baler. Rod
