[QUOTE="farmerjohn, post: 307009, member: 2593"] I have a JD 457 (4x5 bales). It cost me about $1.00 bale for net, if I use two full wraps. It is worth the money. The hay stores better, travels better, all around lots better. As to Dun's question, you would have to change your computer (if your baler has one). The Bale Command computer by itself is around $1000 the last time I looked. The computer has the option of whether you want to tie with net or twine, and how many wraps you want to use. When I bought this new baler 3 years ago, the net wrap was about $3000 extra, the best I remember. If you had to buy a new computer as well as the net wrap attachment you are better off trading for another baler. The 7 series that I have, have just been replaced by the 8 series so you could probably find a 7 series that someone traded in. FYI. 3 years ago, I paid $21000 for this 457 baler with net wrap, extra wide pickup, and megateeth. It replaced a JD 335 (4x4) round baler, no computer or net, that I paid $11,500 for in 1992.
