One showed up at a local dealer for not to much and it's spotless and in great shape. Not planning on doing a lot of custom baleing with it I have enough of that with my round bailers. Just want to know what their like? [Reply]   [No Email]

I've heard die-hard green folks, including Deere dealers, really bad-mouth this machine. Since it does not build a pre-formed flake like the Hesston (a feature subsequently copied by the industry) it has a hard time making well-shaped bales in light windrows. Also, the lack of double knotters (another Hesston invention) limits the bale density. [Reply]  [No Email]
