OK, it doesn't make sense for me to bale my own hay, probably only generate 3-400 bales a year. The problem is, if I get someone to do it for me, they have to get theirs done first, so it goes late. I don't blame them, but meanwhile my hay degrades.
So, Looking for a baler that works when I want it to, and locally I ran across a Deere 457 Silage special with wrap. Now I didn't plan on either of those options. But the price and age is right. A buddy told me not to buy a silage baler because it had a whole lot more parts to break. Also, I didn't need wrap since I store inside and I don't sell hay.
There are not any other other balers locally unless I want something really beat up or 20 or more years old.
Should I keep looking, was looking for a 740NH but nothing around. Are my friends concerns about wrap and silage valid?
Thanks,
Bill
