[QUOTE="Jsmith2211, post: 9081777, member: 147572"] Hi all, Looking into the possability of perhaps getting a big baler. I'm after something that wont pack the bales too tight, as the modern balers seem to struggle to make a light enough bale to allow the hay to breathe in the middle without it falling apart. Im also on a quite tight budget, so looking into the D1000 or 800s. I accept they will be slower than a modern 80x90, but should be quicker than the old 572 round baler. Most of what i'll be baling will be sold to horse people (and nice dry crops hay/straw), so putting a little less in a bale isnt a problem, nor is putting them on lorries. Whats the things to look for on one? I know the deering knotter fairly well now i'd like to think, so I dont mind adjusting a few knotter issues. its more the rest of it really. Are they pathetically slow and are they really just a bit too old to be using these days? And what would be about that would be a little bit newer and slightly more money? Anything newer i've found has been a good 10 grand more! [/QUOTE]
