Do your customers prefer net wrap? Or would they care if it was just twine wrapped?
If your time is worth anything - you will want net. Twining a bale takes forever in comparison.

Personally I prefer to buy hay equipment after the season is over. Often dealers not wanting to hold the used inventory and people wanting something different for next year sell in the fall and winter with much better pricing than you would get in the summer. All my current equipment was purchased in the off season. If you are into auctions, prices really start taking a hit there by Sept or Oct.
Thanks everyone for the replies. I have been looking at a New Holland 650 with net that seems to be in good condition for $6,500. Or there's a Krone 151 twine baler for $2,250 that is pretty old but i was told it was field ready.

Bigfoot62 said:I agree that net is faster, but most of my round bales are fed to horses. Horse owners despise net. I really believe that many of my customers don't mind paying a little more for sisal twine-tied bales.
I also feed it to my cattle. Since I feed in the pastures, I don't want the net either.
Just my 2 cents' worth.
