[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 39258"] We have always used Hesston 5 x 6 hardcore balers. Two years ago we traded our 565A for a 856. This baler makes the heaviest bales I have ever handled. The 72" bales weigh 24 or 25 hundred pounds. So we started making 66" bales. We buy standing hay from the neighbours that don't have cattle any more and when we had a truck with a bale scale come out and some of those bales still weighed 2200 lbs and of the three different fields that we weighed not a single individual bale weighed under 2050 lbs. Many of the balers are the same just painted different colors. So if like New Holland , Case are the same baler. So you can go between the two to get the best price. This is just not with those two. JD bought Hesston's belt patten. The new balers with the double pickups work great! So don't by the biggest baler, just because that is what you have always done. I think the heavy bales harder on your equipment and if you were to buy a 5 x 5 and the bales are a good weight you could save a few grand. Good Luck. Shop around! [/QUOTE]
