6 string baler

[Cowboycontracting]

Looking at a New Holland 1290 baler for next year, many people running them? What are the bad point about them and to look out for buying one? And roughly how many bales an hour can you get? I know there are other balers on the market but I’m looking at a NH. Any advice would be appreciated

A neighbour runs one. They had the rotor input shaft snap 2 seasons ago. I think there has been an upgrade in this area since.
The pickup chains are quite long so watch for stretch.

The one I’m thinking of has over 30,000 bales on it and generally runs well and makes a good bale.
I run a case equivalent of a bb9090
