Hi there what are the problem bits with each baler looking at a 2011 kuhn and a 2012 McHale both with around 25000 bales on them my use is hay haylage and straw occasionally silage many thanks

I'd go for the Kuhn with my experience and talking to others about McHale in straw!

Kuhn great intake. I have a 5500 and it's OK but the intake is a pain best intake I had was a deutz mp130 which had that same intake Kuhn now

Could you stretch to a fb3130?

Kuhn 2135 here, fantastic pickup/ feeder rotor, good solid bales. Takes short stuff well.

I bought a Kuhn variable this year and it has been great. It eats everything with that rotor, not blocked once. I have a drop floor waiting to go into it this winter but had it not already been paid for I would have cancelled it. Glad the mc Hale has gone. It was only an f550 but highly underwhelming!

i find my drop floor not much use as it jams before the rotor in a mchale
