Hay season is just around the corner. This spring I bought a Kubota M9000 to use on my poultry farm. It has 90hp gross and 80hp on the pto so I would like to also use it to mow and hay my upper pasture (~20ac). I was wondering if some of the older hay equipment is worth anything or is it just junk that will be more of a hassle than its worth. An example would be a baler for less than 1k and a mower conditioner also for less and 1k. I really haven’t started shopping yet so I’m not that informed but I want to be before heading out. Again remember this is for taking care of my own property. A slower rig would work fine if the price was right. But at the same time I don’t want to buy a piece of junk that will just get replaced and end up costing more in the end. I will have to wait awhile to save up for the newer stuff if I find that’s the better way. If these prices are to cheap to get anything worth having what would be the minimum price I could expect to find a baler and mower/conditioner worth having.
Thanks Eric
