[QUOTE="Simon Chiles, post: 7241273, member: 1233"] Roughly £70k new. There are starting to get a lot more secondhand ones around now. It sounds a lot but depreciation on them is very little. I can’t speak for the Bandit or Baron but the Arcusin machines are very reliable, probably one of the cheapest machines we’ve ever run for parts. I think I’ve put one hydraulic hose, one chain link, two sensors and a couple of springs on the pickup in 17 years. You’ve also got to remember that the cost of packing has to be divided by every time you handle a bale, if you calculated the cost of manually handling the bales each time then the packer would work out way cheaper. I’d suggest you’d need to be doing 30k+ bales a year to justify a new one. [/QUOTE]
