[QUOTE="Ridgefarmer63, post: 1619914, member: 23951"] Well, since I started this thread , might swell finish it. I ended up buying JD456SS with twine and net wrap. Got it mid July last year. Have only used the twine so far. That's what it was set up for and I had fields that should of been mowed a month and a half earlier to I just started mowin' and balin'. With a 12 speed PR tranny on my JD5320, I am a bit underpowered when making silage. On flat fields I could bale at b2 or 3, but when the baler started to get full, I had to slow it down to b1. I only made 62 4 by 4+ silage bales last year due to the late start. I am hoping for more this year. Bought an Anderson wrapper too. Both are paid off now, but that has a lot to do with the day job. Did some experimenting on the three fields. First field I mowed and raked then baled and wrapped same day. Second field I mowed (drum mower leaves a 3 foot wide windrow) and baled. Third field (100 degree weather)I mowed, raked and let sit for the night and baled the next day. First field was the best. Second field had a few plugs which I enjoyed thoroughly, last field I should of raked again and made dry. Cows seem to love all three. [/QUOTE]
