Are these good balers? My 370 finally baled itself and looking to replace it. Currently do only about 2000 bales. Will the output be much better than the 370??
Higher output than your 370?I get on very well with mine. Swapped a 370 in for it. Lot wider. And wider pick up. Nip along with it too.

Got a tidy 945 here for sale. Maybe a touch too far away thoughAre these good balers? My 370 finally baled itself and looking to replace it. Currently do only about 2000 bales. Will the output be much better than the 370??
Yes in good baling conditions the 945 can punch out quite quickly.Yes. A nice bit more.
Have you still got the 945Got a tidy 945 here for sale. Maybe a touch too far away though
Wish I had. Think its doubled in value since I sold itHave you still got the 945
The model that replaced the 945 is the 575, machines made about halfway in production had several mods that improved them even better, a customer we had changed his every 2-3yrs when going one had to trot to keep up, they have hardened knotters, the frame the where the billhook roller runs on is replaceable, needle eyes hardened, feeder is better, have never been to any with banana bales, string runnage is better, later ones have galvanized string eyes instead of ceramic, less rollers on ram they have two hardened steel blocks, knotter frames can be removed without taking off whole assembly, overrun clutch can still wear helps if kept greased it was sold as a contractors machine, the 570 which replaced 940 is not so good, but still better than previous. am doing a 945 at moment.Put 1000’s of thousands of bales tho one of them back in the late 80’s early 90’s. Pretty good baler tbh just look for wear in the feeder fork bar, it’s a telescopic affair and used to be expensive to replace.
The model after it’s even better ! (545 ?)
