Vermeer started the large round baler technology and still leads the industry.

I have an older New Holland (1990 853) but others around have newer ones which have all given good service.I've also driven aJohn Deere and was well pleased with it. Vermeer prodsuucts have agood rep also.Guess it depends on price and dealer support /distance.

Go get a 467 JD. Ours has baled circles around the New Holland 654 that we had before.

I go with dealer support. If it breaks and the hay is in windrows you need it fixed asap.

John Deere.........

As far as dealer support goes, my dealership is great but I only use them for my tractors (computer controlled and lots of electronics).

Most farmers can't afford to pay someone to come out and fix their equipment, or they ain't a real farmer anyway. :lol:

We are known for being mechanics, carpenters, plumbers, electricians, vets, what ever it takes.. That's how we have survived over the past 70 years.
Do it yourself, its done right and you save money

New Holland in a heartbeat. I've baled circles around JD balers, both old and new. I've also had custom baling done in the past, and the JD bales were simply not consistent in weight, nor did they have nice square shoulders like an NH bale for ease of hauling. The NH equipment is also cheaper to repair and cheaper to buy.

If you have both dealers right there next to you its a toss up, your choice, but like already mentioned we have a Vermeer 604 K series and its been a great baler
