5403 vs 5425 "age-old" questions

Nice pictures, all the kids are grinning ear to ear!

I think the more you use it the better you will like that tractor. The sheetmetal on the baler looks pretty good so I would go through the mechanicals then do a number on the paint. That thing could look like new.

You will not be sorry you bought the 5425, I guarantee it!

The baler on the other hand you will likely have to learn to love. Obviously NH balers are real good units, but you will have to learn how to use and maintain it, if you do not already know how. If I were a fortune teller I would tell you that I see many hours of fussing in your future, but then again that can be half the fun...

Best of luck and many safe and happy tractoring hours.

I have used balers before but not worked on them. Happily my brother in law came over and remembered the same baler with fond memories. They used to use them on their farm and he worked on them for years. Also he is a mechanic and generally a smart guy even if he had not used them before. I hope it goes well...but I imagine "fussing" with it will be done...and thats not bad either!
