[QUOTE="dun, post: 1475856, member: 34"] Had a Vicon that was a great baler for picking up hay and making tight bales. The net on it was a P poor design that the wrap would ball up becuase there was no pressure on it. Plus all of the parts had to come from europe and it took forever for them to get here, if you could even find someone that could diagnose the problem. A New Idea that just never was right, belts would almost swap positions. A JD 430, 435, 535 and a 437. The eaisiest to set up and had the least issues was the JD 437. Had all of the pluses of the Vicon without the negatives. The net was run by electronics instead of hydraulics like the 435/535 and never had any issues. Bought it rigth, rebuilt what needed doing for 800 bucks. Used it for a number of years and sold it for half again as much as I bought it for. Guy that bought it had never baled hay before buying it and proceeded t go out and start making good tight bales from his first bale. No sialge kit on it but it would pick up wet stuff that a 435 with a silage kit would plug on. [/QUOTE]
