Coffin baler?

[6910 Buzz]

What’s the best coffin baler one could buy in the second hand market?

Coffin baler? Never heard of them

 

[mo!]

Why would you want to bale coffins?

That's what I wondered

The haulage trade came up with this disparaging name for a 80x 70 bale D1000

I suppose given how unstable they are it kinda works.

I think the OP means an 80x50 chamber baler, the bales from which are sometimes called coffin bales.

If so there's an increasingly old selection of secondhand models -the NH D710/Hesston 4600 (parts increasingly hard to find nowadays), Claas 1100/1150 (parts presumably still available) and the NH bb920/9040(not sure about parts, should be ok as the 9040 was made up to 2012.) New you've got the Claas 4000 or (if you're feeling brave like me) the Italian Supertino 508.

D1000 bales were 60(h)x90(w) not 70x80. Its why they never caught on, they were too wide to get 3 across a lorry. But they were very stable bales to stack.

Why don't we forget all the terms because they confuse everyone the only one that's half excepted is a Heston or 120x130. Other than that they confuse everyone. I've heard quadrants used for 120x70 and 120x90. A quadrant is a claas and they come in all sizes

We either bury coffins or send them to the Crem around here,,, never bale them!!

Parts no issue for D710/BB920. NH D710 a steady old bird compared to the later BB's in my experience, but still capable of good work rates. Plenty of used ones in France and Germany but commonly command huge sums

Thought they were cheese straws?

Is it’s 80x70 rather than 80x 50 then a new Holland bb870 is what you need. Steer clear of anything Welger

Availability isn't a problem , the price is .

When I needed a gearbox crank arm for my 4600 a few years ago I was told there was one in the whole of Europe.......and wasn't there a guy on here last year looking for a donor 4600 because he couldn't get parts for the knotters?

We found ours very steady about 2.5 mph on a good 20ft row of straw

They still make them, local contractors bought a new one last year.

We have a Claas quadrant 4000 which is 80x50. Very happy so far in hay and haylage . Output is greater than the Hesston 4600 and its siblings by about 25%. Not many about though.
