who makes the best round baler

[frenchie]

New holland 847 . We had a hesston 540, but recently got rid of it

I raise PB red angus and isn't 1100-1200 lbs a little small. It doesn't take much to make an 1100 lb cow. Are you reducing frame mainly? I understand that most smaller cows are more efficient. Just they get so narrow some times and I like deep bodied, long spined cattle.

Hello brother.

So what size does that make? Hard or soft core?
Does that have bale command?

About 4 x 5 bale. This is just a quess. Hardcore bale. No bale command.

I was tempted to buy a 8480 , that had only done 1400 bales. But the guy that had is incredibly rough on equipment.

We also looked at a 565a hesston and a Vermeer 605xl. We thought we might have tractor axle problems ,if we went too big.

The 565 was easy on the tractor compared to the 856.
