New toy followed me home... JD 459 Standard Round Baler

Just picked up my new round baler last week, and put 39 bales through it last night! Still making a few adjustments, but it works great!

Big congrats! Let us know how it holds up or if you have any quirks.

Finished 30 acres on Friday. Total of 122 bales. The 459 did awesome! There is definitely a learning curve. And had a few little issues, (wrong twine from dealership, loose fitting on hydraulic cylinder), but once I got it ironed out, it ran great!

Dog GONE IT!! August 25, 2015 news release from John Deere shows a 459E with NETWRAP! Dang-it! I sure hope my dealer did not know, LOL! I bought mine two weeks prior, and really wanted a net machine! There was not one available under 35k...

Bummer man! Isn't that just the way it works some times..

Told the dealer to figure a trade... I know I will take a hit, but I really want net...

Pricing is starting to come in on the 459E. Not too bad, the upcharge on the net system is only around 3k. Now I just have to figure out if it is worth trading...
