[QUOTE="Mark C, post: 7240179, member: 956"] I ran 2 bale bandits consecutively ( a 100 and then a 200) since 2006. They were great machines at the time but I feel they haven’t evolved an awful lot, partly down to the passing of Owen Brown who developed it. Lots of bespoke parts. I had excellent backup from Bale Bandit UK as they also run a machine themselves and are always on the end of the phone S day send parts out promptly. However I now run a bale baron. I switched as they offered a 9 bale pack option which I wanted. Mine trails behind the Baler but you can get a pickup version that runs like an arcusin. They do need a short bale but you can bale them tight to get the same bale weight. Output is fantastic. I run mine behind a welger 830 with a sleeved chamber and can do 600/ hr without breaking a sweat. In a catchy season , baling 20 acres after tea isn’t a problem but would be a thing of dreams with the Bandit. As with most balers and packers the tying mechanism is what gives trouble but any one who knows their way around a big Baler can fix a bale baron. They use the Rasspe or Heston knotter. [/QUOTE]
