What is you experience with 4x5 balers? Wanted to purchase a good used one but not sure which ones are the best. Preferably net wrap, but may do string to if value is there. Thoughts? What do you use?
Where do you get the $2/bale extra cost from? I haven't used plastic string in years, but off the top of my head the last year I used it I was spending about 40 cents/bale for plastic string. I put close to 3 wraps of Vermeer brand net on my rolls and I'm averaging $1.31/bale doing so.IMO, your dealer support should probably be the deciding factor for a newer baler. I run older stuff, and work on it, not as efficient as i would like. I use twine and tarp it, haven't got to build a good barn yet, and 2 bucks a bale extra cost for net isn't in the plan right now. Though I would like to have a newer baler, just really don't want to spend the money.

I guess your cost for twine is higher than mine, have you bought net yet for this year? 3 wraps for 1.31 sounds awful cheap.Where do you get the $2/bale extra cost from?

Yessir, bought a few rolls of Vermeer net last month at $250/roll and I average 190 round bales per roll.I guess your cost for twine is higher than mine, have you bought net yet for this year? 3 wraps for 1.31 sounds awful cheap.
I get 50 bales at 23.80, so .47 per bale. I didn't realize you got that many wraps from a roll.Yessir, bought a few rolls of Vermeer net last month at $250/roll and I average 190 round bales per roll.
How much are you paying for plastic string and how many rolls do you get per ball?
