I would go for an 8590, although an 8580 would be OK too. I would want at least 150 horse on one. A hesston 4900/4910 is the same as a Case 8580/8590. For quite a few years hesston/case had an agreement and hesston built their balers, you can get hesston parts at a case dealer. If its been well maintained I wouldn't be afraid of one with 40K bales, but it also depends how many bales a year you plan on doing.
