Alternative to hayzip

[renewablejohn]

My old hayzip has finally given up the ghost. For the small numbers of acres I do it has been fine for spreading out and raking up mainly hay. Just wondered if anything better is on the market possibly front mounted so that I can rake up and bale at the same time. Baler would be offsett due to ground clearance on tractor keeping center of gravity as low as possible on the hills.

Offset baler? Round or conventional?

Offset baler? Round or conventional?

At the moment a round mountainpress but looking for a Claas Magnum to give the option of doing traditional square bales. Have tried a conventional square baler and its a non starter as it jumped down the hillside.
