I just received my new tractor and now I am on the hunt for a good small square baler with a bale thrower. The models that I am considering are NH 570 w/72 thrower or a JD 348 w/48 thrower. I have been told the following:
1. NH balers are the "best on the market" for durability and reliability.
2. JD balers make a "perfect" bale that is well liked by commercial hay buyers because they stack well.
3. The NH 72 thrower can NOT be turned off. If you do not want to use it, you have to either remove it from the machine or turn it way down and play chase the bale.
4. The JD thrower can be turned off and used like a chute.
My questions:
1. Is there any merit to the above statements?
2. What are some users opinions regarding using these balers behind a 65 pto HP machine?
3. If you could buy either, which one would you buy and why?
Thanks in advance.
