Square baler

Where would you buy a new baler for small square bales of hay. How much are they new or are they making them new anymore.

Don't know, surely 25k plus but I will admit I have no interest in them or most new machines.

Have you seen any cheap new machines because I haven't.

Second hand one is probably best but for the hardship associated with them a round baler sounds best!

New Holland making them still, production now switched from Belgium back to USA. Only problem with this, all the nuts and bolts are imperial sizes again. You Will have to dig out the whitworth spanners your father had.!

Did you see the amount of NH276's on donedeal? This time of year they put them on thinking people will pay over the odds for them because the sun is shining. They think PZ haybobs are worth what they paid for them new 30 years ago :rolleyes:

Very very true. Wrong time of year to be looking for any of that type of machinery.

I know its slightly off topic, but has anyone seen the mini round balers at work?

I have only seen them for sale on donedeal, and have not seen any bales from them around either

I havent seen them at work but a lad in mayo was selling them and he told me that he could bale and wrap 12 acre in a day on his own with the mini round bales
