Anyone running a New Kubota round bailer?

Don't be too JEALOUS. It appears from reading Northern balers threads that Y'all normally average making more rd bales per acre per cutting than us Southerners.

Our Kubota dealer won't touch ballers. John deere does, so we touch John Deere.

I’ve had mine for 2 seasons. One proximity switch on the tailgate went bad right out the gate, but other than that it’s been great. What I like about this better than some of our previous round balers is that you don’t have to weave as much in order to make a straight bale. The other thing about this baler that is amazing to me is that I haven’t been able to plug it up.

How many bales have you rolled in the 2 seasons with your Kubota baler? My JD 467 has average rolling 1857 bales per season in 15 seasons

I do about 1100-1400 a year round on a New Holland and 700 square on a Heston

300/yr. We only get one cutting per season.

That baler will last 20-30 years. When I was round baler shopping fall 2020, I came across a Kubota round baler. Used, with only a couple hundred bales on it. Looked fantastic. Loaded up with features. Asking price was $33,000. I knew the salesman well. He steered me away from it. Maybe it was a lemon?
