Buying Advice Newholland round baler numbers

[RickB]

The reason I was looking at a 450 was for the price. I can get a new one with a bale kicker for 15,600. The 7060's are quite a bit more. Is there a big difference between the 2? Is the 7060 made better? I'd rather spend a little more now than to have problems later.

Thanks

How many bales per year?

 

[AdamM]

Usually around 100 or so.

 

[RickB]

The 450 will serve you well.

 

[AdamM]

Ok. I think I'm understanding more about the 2. Thanks for your help. I need all I can get.

 

[whodat526]

yea aslong as you aint baling 200+ rolls a year the little baler will serve you well

 

[AdamM]

I suppose the 7060 is a better built baler?

Yes, and priced accordingly. A very stout baler for operations that count bales by the thousands.

i have around 7000 rolls on my 648 with no major trouble other than some bearings and standard matience and a buddy of mine has a br750 that has around the same amount of rolls through it with no trouble

I know somebody will disagree but i believe Nh makes the best hay equipment money can buy
