[QUOTE="David1968, post: 7747765, member: 162700"] Good evening everyone :) So, I'm thinking about a baler upgrade, and found myself here after some googling. I have seen a few baler threads but I thought I should maybe start my own rather than hijack someone else's. Not really sure what the etiquette is. Looking for something that will do a bit of everything, hay, straw, haylage and silage. Are McHale V660's as good as they're cracked up to be? Seen a couple advertised in my price range (around £15k) but also a very cheap one that looked like the pickup had taken quite a beating from blockages, or maybe it had just been pushed too hard. I've also seen a tidy looking Kuhn VB2160 which I like the look of . The rotor sits further forward than on the McHale and looks to be pulling the grass straight off the pickup tines. So could be less prone to blocking maybe? Anyone running either of these just now? Or should I be looking at something else? And if there are any missionaries from the fixed chamber brotherhood :p I'm not looking to be converted. Been running a belt baler for over 20 years and prefer to stick with that for various reasons. All advice appreciated (except "buy a roller baler") ;) [/QUOTE]
