Anybody have much experience with them? good ones...ones to avoid?
what about a New Holland 2000? makes a 4x3x8 instead of a 4x4x8 seem to be a lot more reasonable in price than the 4x4's

I dont think the 2000 was actually one of NH masterpieces. Have heard more bad then good. Theres a reason its cheap.

I run Hesston. Find a good used 4790 Hesston and you will be quite happy. The last 4790 I had was traded in at 40,000 bales and I had spent $4,000 on maintenance the whole time I owned it. I have run the NH 3x4's and they just will not last like the Hesston. Run far and fast from the D2000. It is a single knot no pre pack chamber machine that you do not want.
Off subject, 2 thumbs up for a spell check that actually works. Take note agtalk.

Take that argument away and for the $25/ton premium for hay in squares.... I may get rid of the Round Baler. |

I have a caseih 8590 (same as hesston 4910) Its a baling mother for 9000 bucks. Bales a corn stalk bale a minute, in comparison to our new holland round balers which usually averaged one or two an hour. (And some sore hands from unplugging stuff) Btw Im not knocking the newholland round balers, I like them for everthing except stalks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QivWV3Rd17YThe video isn't the greatest, my brother takes them on some fancy phone thingy, my phone cost 9 dollars. |

Nice video. How fast are you going? What was the yield? It looked like decent hay.

I haven't had any problem baling corn stalks with a NH round baler What model newholland? How did you cut the stalks? I always had good luck just baling stover with the round balers. But stalks always gave me problems. And became quite dangerous at the end of the day when I would leave the baler running to fix problems. We were running a 660 twine with the wider pickup. A 688 net and the neighbors xl vermeer. All had feeding problems and just random little problems with cornstalks getting wedged different places all the time. The BRs with the auger feeding pickup might do a good job, but Im too poor for one of those.  |

Those fields made 2-1/2 ton or so but were being grazed before and after. Id bale faster but im getting a flake every storke at that speed and my rake man is always off taking pictures so it doesnt take long to catch him  |

Well after Much help from Earl Livingston of Livingston Imp down in OK. I got this old 4900 Heston running this afternoon. 3 miscarriages due to twine problems and knotter problems them 50 no problems. Half of the hay was 3 MPH and clutch once in a while in the heavy stuff 23 to 27 tabs. Bale evey 300ish feet.
It is a heavy sob, needed mfwd getting up the hills. Had 240hp on it and was not that much over powered. Think if I was going to do a lot of this in the mountains of south Podunk Country I would put the duals on.
