I might be looking for a square Baler. Needs to be 4x2.6 or 4x4. No experience in ether of these. Nothing too flash budget of under 20k. What’s the best ? Thinking BB950 ? Or claas quadrant ?
Thanks

Massey 187 are pretty bomb proof, would be my choice at that money! Slightly biased as used to have one changed it for a 2270xd!

Agreed, but a 187 is 4x3 not a quad or 4x4, and tidy ones will be nearer £30k than £20k.

Personally for the budget I’d go for a late Hesston 4900 / MF190, and spend any leftover budget giving it a birthday.

That’s why I suggested a 187 I feel 4x3 is a better size of bale to deal with in all situations, just my thoughts!
