[QUOTE="Matthew Britton, post: 7893681, member: 512"] I was talking to a friend of mine recently who runs two MF Hesston balers 120x90. He reckons the Krones locally to him are fantastic in the first few years but then reliability plummets and costs spiral. For consistent long term use the Hesston balers are normally the best, their density and speed are not too far behind the Krone but in the long term they will be faster as when the Krone is sitting in the yard having eaten it’s self the Hesston will be out plodding along still making you a living. I ran a couple of Vicon balers which had great density and weren’t slow but certainly the first (with the help of the dealer) nearly bankrupted me, the second was an opportunity that came along after the Massey and was one of the last incarnations of the Vicon before Kuhn bought them. It was a great design but after 5 years was like a time bomb waiting to go off, the first spent half a season being repaired the second would frequently be down for days at a time, the Massey/Hesston I ran never missed a days baling. Draw from that what you will. [/QUOTE]
