Hello all.
for a variety of reasons I am considering the purchase of a round baler as my cropping acreage has increased. I am not after anything posh....my modest budget i was earmarking is £3000 to £4000 but i am considering spending up to £5000 for the right machine ( as long as the depreciation and running costs are reasonable).
It would be for hay and haylage, and if the weather forces my hand, perhaps silage.
I am currently considering...
97 New Holland 544 rotorfeed (chain and slat?) Apparently v tidy and low use £5k
97 Vicon rf 130 rotorfeed, 33000 bales average condition £3750 but dealer a long way from me.
94? Welgar rp200 rotorfeed and wide pick up. V tidy condition £5000
Any pointers, advice and alternatives gratefully appreciated.
