[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1224155, member: 14713"] +1 on a used Hesston if you have an AGCO or CIH dealer nearby. IIRC, the CIH RS561 is the identical twin to the Hesston 856 in IH paint. My 856A was about $30K new in 2000. Been a good baler. Last year I had it gone through at the dealer and got anything fixed that needed it. Main thing was they cut off all the belts (original) and put new splices them. Some of the splices were looking pretty ratty and I was afraid if one gave out it would wreck that belt. A few other minor things added up to around $2K. I hope it's good to go with minimal attention for another 10 yrs. My baler could use net or twine but mine is set up as a twine only machine. I'm sure the cost to add net now to an older baler using new parts is likely prohibitive. [/QUOTE]
