You'll have to match a unit for your tractor power.

Buy the NH if you can. If you buy the Ford you can get a whole used baler for parts for the price you will pay for the needles for the NH. We have a 320 NH wire tie for $3500, a bigger NH twine for $4500 which is about the price range here in north MO. Good luck, Ron

Ford balers go pretty cheap, they are _not_ NH balers in blue! Don't expect too much from them, and harder to find parts.

The NH 315 was made from 1975-82 and is considered
a high capacity heavy duty model with an extra
wide pickup. The Ford 532 was made from 1975-81
and is a standard model while the 542 is the HD
model. The 315 is far superior to the Ford baler,
it weighs about 500 lbs. more, floatation tires,
wide pickup and better twine storage. I owned a
532 and it was a decent baler but parts are very
hard to get now and NH parts are not problem. The
315 should be worth 5-10 times the price of the
Ford, which might be the best feature of the Ford
now. I have a 316 and there is no comparing it to
the 532 I had. I've seen Fords going in the $300-
500 range.

HI THERE:

I BOUGHT A NH-315 SQUARE BALER THIS SPRING AND IT SERVED ME VERY WELL THIS SEASON, BUT IT MISSES ABOUT EVERY 100 OR SO BALE. IT DOESNT TIE IT JUST SHOOTS IT OUT ON THE GROUND AND THE NEXT BALE IS ALWAYS PERFECT. DOES ANYONE NO WHY THAT HAPPENS?

THANKS
BARRY

I've seen them going at the highest end $5000 w/
the kicker. Many can be had at lower prices. If
buying from a dealer expect to pay a premium.
