[QUOTE="C-Ranch, post: 1816263, member: 24325"] Okay I'll chime in. I run a Kubota BV 4580 and love it. Also had a New Holland RB450 twin only and even through was a decent baler it wouldn't eat big windrows. It was also a twine only baler. Back in 2019 I traded it for my current Kubota baler. It will eat a big wide windrow and you can cruise right along. It also has netwrap or twin so gives you some flexibility. I have baled with it next to a JD540M and there is no comparison IMHO. Kubota is built heavier and has the widest pickup on the Market. I rake two 15ft windrows together and it will eat it all and not leave the side strips like my New Holland did and so did the JD. Don't get me wrong JD makes a good baler, but there are others out there that are just as good. But, from what you mentioned I'd pick a Kubota baler since you have dealer support. Dealer support is the only issue I have because the nearest dealer is 1:45 away, but they will ship parts if needed directly to me if need. I have been toying with the idea of buying a 2nd baler to speed up the haying process, but the added expense is holding me back. Doesn't matter color of the equipment it has all become expensive.
