[QUOTE="kill, post: 6304980, member: 622"] What's your budget? Whatever you buy go for the newest and cleanest machine you can find. There's a nice Lely Tornado fixed chamber baler wrapper on eBay at the moment that I believe is John Payne's near Ross on Wye and he's fair enough to deal with as it will be checked and serviced well and that baler would last a long time. Any older fusion will do you ok but have a decent budget for repairs if overhauling it yourself as tyres will soon eat £1500-£2000 if cracked or damaged, allow a set of chains if unknown when replaced, pickup cam bearings and cam's do wear/ damage and there's a roller at the rear bottom (long shaft with double sprocket) that has a habit of breaking the stub every 20000 bales at around a grand a pop including a chain it will always snap and replacing bearing's. Don't over look brakes either as they are a lump and stopping thousands of times a season will show no mercy on your tractors brakes if not working correctly. Wrap sensors X2 will go every season at around £130 each [/QUOTE]
