Went with a NH 644 with bale command, mega wide pickup, and net wrap or twine. I got it for the netwrap, its been a consistent +10.00 a bale seller for me for the same hay but I've been having to pay dearly to get it. Plus I really like the way it ships. Still got both 650's. One out on lease and keep one here for a spare.

So far, what I like... the speed of netwrap. It makes a difference. It seems the belts are made heavier and dont twist as badly or as often as on the 650, and the combination of bale command and the mega wide pickup makes a lot prettier bale than the 650 regular pickup with hay saver wheels. What I dont like, shear pin as opposed to slip clutch. Also, even with the 650 set on 4x5 it just doesnt seem that the 644 has the capacity per hour of the 650. I make up most of it on tying speed but in and out rolls per day its about the same. All in all I thought it was a pretty good purchase. Paid 7500 for the baler and put around 2000 in repairing the front end and replacing the driveline. Bale command showed 6400 rolls in its lifetime before I got it. I've run 900 through it so far and other than the roll of netwrap I put in backwards its been as or more trouble free than my 650.
