    Recommendations on inline baler and accumulator

    I am thinking seriously about buying an inline baler to bale 25 to 30 acres of alfalfa in small square bales for horses. What types have you tried or owned and what do you like and dislike about them? I would ask the same question about an accumulator. Thanks for your time and response.
