[QUOTE="kjonesel, post: 902769, member: 16842"] I bought a Krone KR181 and used it last year, actually my son who had never ran any kind of baler, ran it. It worked great. We used it in coarse hay, high quality orchard grass, timothy, and clover hay that was cut in its prime and late season short hay that was extremely fine. The only "problem" was that the fine hay let the bales squat. This winter we bought a M&W 1800 which is an identical baler just to have a backup in case the first baler broke. I have 800 in the first one and 1300 in the second one. They are both field worthy and could go to the field tomorrow but I learned 40 years ago when the hay is on the ground in Southern Indiana you usually only have 1 additional day to get it up and with what fertilizer cost me last year I can't afford to lose hay. This model bales a soft center 6 x 6 bale so if you are looking to sell hay you will lose your ass because they actually put around 1,400 lbs. in a bale and the market hear will only bear $35.00 a bale.
