Shouldn't be a problem with finding cheap help down there. But aiding and abbeting a criminal is a crime and should be a mandatory 30 days in jail to anyone that is caught working illegal criminals.

I am gonna talk to the local hesston dealer about trying one out this year. I don't mind spending little extra on a baler if gonna make better bales and do the task i ask. I don't know about the dairymen uve talk to but the ones I've talked to and myself included love the John Deere balers. The only complaint I hear is about the kickers are dangerous. Me i Don't want a kicker I'm just dropping on the ground. New Holland equipment is garbage in my opinion and all the dealers have been nothing but jerks so I plan to stay away from that brand in generalAaron said:Hesston inline all the way, or if you are poor like me, New Holland. Stay away from John Deere. Haven't known many dairy men that swore on them in a good way.

5 cuttings a year , 1000 acres. Machines are always on just about.kenny thomas said:May I ask why so many balers?Richnm said:I have 5 BC5070 New Hollands , 2 575s, and 2 348s. The Deere makes a perfect square pretty bale. The Holland's will make a very long bale if you go to fast. The Holland is faster by far. Had a dealer bring me an inline once. Made me feel like a city boy I sent it back. I get more money for the Deere bales hay. $12 a bale 65 pound bales. Big rows New Holland.

Ya except for the sell faster get paid more for them and you don't have to worry about your tractor being gelled up in the winter to feed ur cattle. Other than that your right square bales ain't good

I couldn't imagine having to feed a ton of square bales a day, I'd quit before I did that.
