[QUOTE="Goweresque, post: 7240100, member: 818"] They all have their pluses and minuses. The Arcusin is a stand alone operation, whereas the other 2 are (generally) towed behind the baler. The Arcusin can be slotted into a smaller scale operation more easily as it doesn't need a massive tractor, 100HP is plenty, you could probably manage with 80. The Arcusin is more tolerant of bale lengths and types (ie standard size vs Welger), but the packs are not as tight as the other makes. The Arcusin is small, its hardly any bigger than towing a 3t weekes trailer. I think the BB requires quite a short bale which is not that liked by end customers I've heard. I have a C14, and I have to admit I've had to make a fair few changes to mine to make it work better, whether I got a duff one I don't know, it certainly was one of the first C models in the country and I've often wondered if it was a pre-production machine or something because there were loads of silly little things that drove me mad when I got it, and a small amount of blacksmith style engineering solved them overnight. For example just this season I removed some zig zag bars at the bottom of the chamber (designed to stop bales sliding about I think) and this almost eliminated popping bale strings entirely, allowing me to increase the pack pressure massively and get tighter packs. Its entirely possible that on the new model (D now I think) a lot of these little issues have been solved. The hydraulics and electronics have been faultless. [/QUOTE]
