recommend me a round baler please

[scottrac]

Hi
As above for doing hayledge please
only do about 150 bales a year but fed up of getting let down by contractors,(not always their fault)lost second cut this year as contractors either busy or broke down so want to bring it in house.
I mow and turn it myself so this way i can do it when i want.
doesn.t need to be fancy (cheaper the better for the amount i'll be doing)
have a jd6230 go on the front so not big hp
any advice gratefully received
thanks

550 with net and wide pick up here for sale

Does that have the grass bar fitted? I found our old 550 a pig to use on haylage. The 592 I have replaced it with it streets ahead.

It's a customers machine. Only ever been used on grass of all types and never been any bother

bit tongue in cheek TBH.....i bought it outta genuine retirement sale last month but havn't used it yet cos i can't get the twine arm to trip artificially as yet and weather has been tricky so rather than bugger about in field i've been using my trusty vermeer

TBH i've a notion that i might take it to the field and she'll work fine cos in order to tie she needs bale pressure so i'm gonna try her in straw....if it ever ripens

i paid £1200 .....if you were interested she'd £1500 + vat.....you'd be welcome to come look and i'd put her on tractor so you'd see her working....there's no control box but it can be used without i'm told

you're absolutely right to be seeking your own baler IMO....i baled up 7ac hay last night.....looks better in bales than swath this morning i can tell you

Interesting, you said you have a Vermeer, I had one for 10 seasons in the 90s, good baler in its day.

I had one a few years ago. Did all our own baling with it before I sold it. Would have another no problem

vermeers were largely sold rebranded as farmhand initially and then some mf

I've been very pleased with our New Holland 650 that I paid £1k for.
It's done 300+ bales of grass this year with little issue.
