Let me start by stating that this endeavor will only be for play not really need. That said, I have been looking for a small cheap/old baler for my Kubota L285 (30 hp gross engine, 26.5 max PTO hp). I will not be pulling a wagon and am only looking to play with on my own 5 acres of pasture grass so I can go slow if needed. Searches on this and other forums have led me to believe a John Deere 14T baler would be my best option, but I have not found one yet. Today I did find a New Holland 66 baler close to my house that appeared to be in decent shape.
Questions:
a) Is the NH 66 a good baler?
b) any weaknesses to check for?
c) average value of a NH 66 in decent shape?
d) Would the NH 66 be a good fit for my low HP tractor, or would the JD 14T be a better fit for my low hp needs?
thanks for all opinions,
