Is the welgar rp120 the same as the rp12

[andybk]

*as thread title , is rp 12 and rp120 the same ?, thinking of swapping out our rp12 ,didnt realise there was one in middle of rp12 and the 220 , presume its string tie which is ok for us as we only do 50-60 bales a year

An old thread but anyone care to put a value on a 120? Narrow pickup and twine only. It’s all there and works, have the lower guard for it aswell

 

[Andy Nash]

I got 2.5k for my RP200, which I think went for export. Not familiar with the 120 but looks much the same minus autolube. Doesn’t seem to have a year on it, unusual for welger.

£500. should make a decent tight 4ft bale

It’s a much smaller/lighter baler with narrow pickup and string only

Weighs in for more than that , I say £1500 easy

how much is scrap....I've got two old round balers in nettles

not much metal in them i'dve thought

can't see you're right tbh

A few years ago the Poles would have been snapping it up. Narrow pick up and string was their holy grail

My 200 was string only and narrow pickup. It was 2t tare against your 1900 kg so not a huge difference.
I’ve still got my RP12 as a backup (emergency!) and my fella reckons it’s still worth 1k

Yes I think my baler went a bit further east!

When I was selling our class 46 it was worth less with net than if it had string

'mixed metal'?...£165/t?....doubt the baler weighs 9t

It's a 1500 quid baler , I appreciate you have sheep so therefore are a tight arse , but hey ho

2 t at 165 is £330

Learn to count.

I think it's worth 2k.
If it does the job and in decent nick why would you sell it for less.
£500 isn't worth scratching your arse with these days.
Bloody pto shaft is probably worth more than £500 and I know a guy will pay £400 for decent wheels and axles.

Plus if you paid 2k for it you might actually look after it...

 

[Mur Huwcun]

£2k was my instinct aswell, it’s going for export for near enough. Any one fancy a single rotor?

think I've miss understood 'good old bob'

he means it's worth more than £500 as scrap...still a stretch though

my valuation was based on a similar vintage vermeer that was sold at auction coupla months back...and we all know vermeer were the 'royalty' of balers in 'days of yore'
