Thanks, Thinking of going to Baby bales, found a good one for sale and think it would fit my operation well, but we'll see.

N. E. Indiana		We had a 335 a few years ago. If I remember correctly they will weigh somewhere around 600 lbs, give or take 50 lbs.

west central Minnesota		I have had a 330 for several years, it's my backup baler now, I would guesstimate that most of my alfalfa bales weighed 600-700 lbs. Baleage bales up to 1500. They're a good, simple little baler.

ontario		I also run a 335 for years. I'd say 550 lbs if its raked or 600lbs out of a swath. Very good baler, never let me down and would bale fast for it's size. Baleage is a challenge because it wraps alot. Belt laces need regular replacement/checking and watch the welds on the tension arm for cracking. JD is a poor welder. But after running one for about 20000bales I never replaced a bearing,belt,or pickup tooth and when I traded it was missing maybe three teeth. I traded for a 4x6 New Holland to better handle baleage and short cut straw. In my opinion JD aren't good silage machines. However the NH is higher maintance machine and you have to keep the ground speed down.
