Dalton, OH | Jason,
I just traded for my third Krone baler last week. The first two were 88's (the model before the 890's) and I traded for a 2008 890 with X-cut. I put about 8,000 bales through the baler per year of everything from dry hay to all mositures of baleage and even a little straw. It works excellent and I have had very few problems with the baler. My local dealer now has at least 10 maybe even more of these baler's out with excellent results. On the baler I just traded I only missed two knots with it all year other than when I might have had a knot come apart in the twine box (I need to learn to tie better knots!!). My dealer is also a New Holland dealer and they hardly sell any NH baler's anymore. As far as Hesston's, I know they have traded a couple, but I haven't spoke with any of the owners personally. I am good friends with a person who runs a Hesston just like mine and has run some of the Hesston prototype balers. We have run in the same field a few times and there really is very little difference between the two baler's. I will say one thing that I did notice is when he would plug his baler, he had to get out and dig it out and replace a shear pin. I have never done that on any of my Krone balers. One, there is no shear pin and two, it will unplug itself. Any other questions, feel free to post or email me. No I do not work for Krone before anybody asks.
