I just bought a 450 today with the deluxe monitor twine only was 18,900 Came home to start cutting hay and the clutch pack burnt up in my tractor so I will let you know first impressions when I get a tractor rented and get some hay rolled up.
Got the tractor to the shop and brought home a loaner. New holland guy brought the baler to the house and helped me set up the monitor on loaner tractor and bale a few bales of hay. Only baled up 8 bales the way my weekend was going I didn't want to lay down too much only to find out the loaner wouldn't work. The 8 bales I did wrap up were perfect and baler/monitor was very easy to use so first impressions are good just hope everything else holds up. This being my first round baler it was really nice having someone here to help me set it up. Will let you know more about how it goes later.
