Star 960 Baler

[BEETLEINTX]

I'm considering buying a Star 960 Round baler. Using a MF1533, 4WD. Baler produces about a 3X3 round bale, around 500 lbs I think. I know the baler is expensive. Anybody have any experience with this equipment? Nobody in my area will bale small acreage. Thought I could bale my own and a few neighbors fields to help pay for the equipment.

I would skip the Star and buy a used baler like a Krone and make 4x4 bales. If you dont make them as tight, you can keep them down around 500 lbs. but still hard enough to roll them around.
