    Round Balers

    I used to run a 554XL vermeer net wrap. The main gripe I had was the net wrap would mess up quiet often it would wrap about 30 and then mess up on 2 or more in a row. I now have a 457 John Deere net wrap excellent baler. We bailed about 3000 last year Vermeer has some features I really like but...

    I operate a custon hay bailing operation in southeast texas I run John Deere equipment I have a 6310 cab,2750 cab and a 2030 open station. My partner in the business runs New Holland tractors and we have found the Deeres will work circles round them. Heavier tractors and more usable power. I...

    How much discount on new John Deere...?

    All I use is John Deere Tractors I have two cabs and one open station it depends on what you are going to do with the 5000 series. I would recomend a 6300 series has all the power a hay farmer wants. You can find some clean used cab and airs on the internet. I just bought a 6310 03 model cab for...

    mahindra tractors

    My neighbor has the same tractor he can only pull his 4x4 Claas baler in the low ranges same as cutting with 8 foot Kuhn cutter. In my opinion the 5000 Ford is a stronger tractor. His tractor is one year old he cant sell it because he says he will take to much of a loss.

    Mahindra Tractors

    I dont know about A Deere having a Mahindra engine but I know two of my three Deeres were made in Germany. The Mahindra may be a good utility tractor. But for the work I do I'll stick with my Deeres. Also when I buy something I look at what will the resale value be down the road if I have to...

    Mahindra Tractors

    In my opinion they will not stand up to a Deere A Deere has a 7% torque curve figured in to there engines. And a Mahindra will not weigh as much. A friend of mine brought the 60 horse tractor he can only pull his 4x4 Claas baler in low range first sometimes second. I have a 2030 76 model Deere...

    Making hay

    First I agree with you that I dont like to round bale in an open station tractor. I use a 2750 and a 6310 both cab and air. I like the over the edge net wrap feature of the Deere that my 554xl did not have. Now the Vermeer did have some features that the deere doesn't have like the over fill on...

    Making hay

    I used to buy all my hay but I found I could not get the quality. So I started raising my own I started with used equipment. 8 years later I now have almost all new equipment. There can be nothing worse than having old equipment break down at the start of a field. I do more custom bailing now...
