Now is a good time to buy at a level that makes
sense than gamble on the unknown.

Farmers are naturally gamblers especially livestock men

could argue if twas dry or not

we are farmers, cause we would argue, just 1 thing less, to disagree about.
started baling with welgar r200 ?, j d belt, and finally a class. The different weights, that all 3 types, could be made to do, definitely buy by the ton, unless you are doing the baling !

Yeah grass everywhere this year , fodder will be for nothing this winter. Supply and demand, lets hope people realise the crops of straw that are about and that gets back to £30/acre.

We're on a JD451M and that can make some sort of bale.

[Shebb90]

Been quoted today for new season straw delivered £100 for wheat and a £110 for barley. They released there price today. Has dad says it never goes cheaper than there first price

Then you loose the customer that might have paid £90/acre the year before. You cant have it all your own way all of the time

2nd year we had the rp200, it was really dry, and couldn't get the straw turning in the chamber, they had a mechanic, trying to keep 8 balers going, so wasn't just us, easy cure, bale when some dew about ! We had 2 rp's one after the other, they were really good, old man wanted a belt baler, so JD, he really couldn't get on with it, and wouldn't let anyone else have a go, determined to master it, his brother reckoned it nearly killed him, that is the result, of insufficient daily maintenance, but he wouldn't listen. Went to class rolant then, and l wouldn't let him drive it, funny thing, he really didn't mind, the class was ultra reliable, and trouble free.
