Big square baler

[sledgeit]

Looking for a used 120x70 big square bale, I have been offered a Massey Ferguson or a New Holland which one would be the best to go for?

Krone

If it's less than 4 years old Krone are a good shout. After that forget it, the parts backup is not good.

Zedelgem made NHs aren't brilliant as they get older either.

My vote would be for MF, parts are very common and reasonably priced.

We have had a nh bb9070 that was a good baler but not great we now have a Krone 1270 and the difference in performance is night and day I do worry about the cam track with packer on the Krone in older age but we don’t do huge numbers of bales around 8000 9ft long a year, and we have a good dealer so are very happy atm. Unfortunately said dealer has been forced to give up the Krone franchise but are going to carry spares and still look after us

They are both ten years old the Massey is a 2160 with twin axles and 75,000 bales on the clock, don’t know much about the NH other than it has done less bales, also been offered a Case I take it’s the same as a NH in a different colour.

Definitley MF then, wouldn’t touch a NH that age.

The Massey was the one I liked best but unfortunately as of Friday we are in lockdown and all travel outside my area will be against the law, so my search for a baler will have to be put on hold for the time being. Thanks for all your help today.

defo the massey twice the baler of NH we sold a mf 187 done over 130000 bales went to Nigel at NCE he had looked after it . also MF parts considerably cheaper. saying this they all need a bit of love but they still give you some grief

Can you not travel on business,all the livestock markets seem to be still operating

Livestock may be seen as essential business whereas if travel south to view a baler may not, apparently this would now be breaking the law.
