NH 7060. We had our new Holland for several years now make a good bale.

New Holland, it'll make a lovely bale from anything and will cope with variable hay swaths made with haybobs.

Sticking with belt balers then..

Would bale hay with a rollant soft middle ,as a bale is a bale for some dumb horse folk ,charge 2£ less and thinkmthey got a bargain ,but dont think its 2/3 rds weight but pig man wants 5 ft solid middle bales ,and stack them in single rows on a light field what will come late planted salad spuds

The likes of your newer Kuhn, Krone, Welger and McHale fixed chamber will still put a lot in a bale despite the softer center.

Belt bale, especially the 5 foot bale has a world of stuff in them. 5 foots are a pain to shift though.


If your making for horse people your on a looser, Goldilocks porridge those lot.

Belt bailer for silage , fixed chamber /soft center for hay/straw any dampness at all and your straw will skate together and your hay will sweat and mold

Don’t want add blue in diesel Robbie . Maybe spin could come with his own nasher ,
Wonder what he would make of driving a green goat , he only know how to drive white goats . ooops I meant white sheep , they act and look like goats . Quite amusing watching a goat like sheep chasing a mule ,
