[QUOTE="kjonesel, post: 907380, member: 16842"] I bought a Krone KR181 last year for $800.00 spent an additional $400.00 for parts like roller chains, teeth, sprockets, twine tie wheel, and some oher small parts that could go wrong and were worn and I now have a reliable 5 x 6 baler. Two months ago I bought a M&W roung baler model 1800 which is identical to the Krone and it is ready to go to the field for it I paid $1,300.00. I have a MF 175 that I pull it with and have plenty of power. One of the best advantages of the soft center bale is that the cattle consume more hay with the ability to grab a mouthful and not have to work for a bite like they do when the bale is rolled tightly. I have been told but haven't read that a cow will only bite / work a limited amount of time for a meal and I believe that it is beneficial to make it easy for them to consume more hay. The other aspect is that they are so easy to operate, my son who has never operated a baler before was able to make beautiful round bales this past year. I know that the M & W line was popular in central and northern Missouri and I have seen Krone in the SW part of your state. Maybe God will bless you like he has me with an affordable baler. [/QUOTE]
