Montana		Does Vermeer actually build these? I would guess that they are re-badging another brand, since Vermeer has never produced their own square baler. Tractorhouse is saying it's a 2013. Anybody familiar with one?

Warrenton, NC		It's made by Laverda, the same folks that make McCormick tractors. Not a 2013, maybe a 2003. Not many sold.

Montana		Ok. That makes more sense. Must not have been too great.

Northwest iowa		Are you sure about Laverda? I thought McCormick was made by Argo in Italy, so I did a search and Laverda came up as a motorcycle builder. The baler I would guess is a Welger as they are owned by Vermeer. There were a few of those floating around but never got going here. Tough market to break into.

Montana		Agco bought Laverda. They were an Italian combine maker. I knew Vermeer couldn't be doing it in-house. A salesman told me that Vermeer has been trying to buy a square baler design since the 90's unsuccessfully.

Huntley Montana		They brought 1 out when they were trying to get into the market. 5 strings instead of 6, bales in straw were 100-150# lighter. I wasn't impressed. Dealer never sold 1. Course he's a Hesston dealer also & he was not impressed either.
I'd bet it's a "orphan"(sp) & hard to find parts/service

I know where there is another one sitting in the weeds. Always wondered about it.

Montana		Sounds like Vermeer and Deere better stick to round balers.
