Welger Balers

[slowzuki]

Only very old models around here in Canada now, see them for sale now and again for cheap.

Vermeer now owns controling interest in Welger. Next week Vermeer will release the Welger Sales Program for the USA.

Hmm... got any details on the Welger small square baler? Like min-max Hp and a seat-of-the-pants guess on price?

Thanks.

They cost an absolute bomb here in the UK, around ｣20,000 GBP, so at a guess $35,000 ish?

The big models will zap the horsepower out of any tractor up to about 130 HP. Anymore than that and it is probably a waste. But I wouldnt want a whole lot less.

You can just charge on with them until you get to a point where the pickup cannot collect any faster and then just keep going that speed and the bales will all stay the same size.

It tends to be if you slow down the bale length goes skew wiff.

Whew.... $35K!! That just tore the seat right outta my pants!

And 130hp tractor.. Well, on 50 acres of hay, I'd have a hard time even turnin' a tractor that size around at the end of the field.

Thanks.

60 HP should handle The Welger AP530 Small Square Baler OK.

Yeh, I was thinking of the AP830 when I said 130HP.

Does anybody know of any Welger dealers in Canada now? We have an RP200 round baler that is getting on in years, works excellent, but need to know where to get parts if it breaks down during the 5 days of good weather we get in Atlantic Canada.

In the USA, Vermeer dealers have access to Welger parts. Vermeer and Lely are co-owners of Welger. You might ask a Vermeer dealer in Canada if they can get your Welger parts for you.
