[QUOTE="Chips, post: 6973399, member: 432"] As a one man band I keep toying with the idea of one . But as said the price is the killer , so just think I'm better off with just a baler which means I can get the crop weather proof , i.e in bales as fast as possible and then pay a contractor £1.20 to wrap them , the bill doesn't come to much . Alternatively I could buy a 2nd hand fusion , but on my hills I do wonder how much faster than an I-bio it would be as surely the extra weight to pull ( a couple of ton with an extra bale ?), along with constantly pumping oil would take power away from making a bale resulting probably an extra 20 seconds to make a bale ,which is roughly how long the bio takes to wrap , thus either machine is going to be slow compared to just a straight baler and a lot more complicated . New baler £25k and wrapper £11k should be around the price mark of a bio after all they don't have to make a 2nd chassis and then they may sell a few , or even a little bit more given it's a twin wrapper so maybe £40k ish tops. The only thing that still tempts me is the film binding but I see Claas have that on straight balers now anyway , do any others ? [/QUOTE]
