| You talking 2000 lb wet or dry? In my experience, the guys who think they are making a 2000 lb bale are making about a 1600 lb bale. We are on our 4th year with a CaseIH RBX 462. It has been a good baler. Ripped a belt on it last fall doing cornstalks. That's the first belt replacement in 4500 bales. I also belive that the CaseIH/NH balers have the best Netwrap system on the market. No talc, no fuss, just put the roll in and go. If you are going to be shipping hay, go 4ft. Hell, if you're not, I'd go 4 ft just because they are so much easier to handle and feed. Most of the guys around here with the new 5x6 balers are only making them 5ft anyway because the bales get too heavy for their trucks, so you might as well get a 4 ft baler and be done with it. I've put out plenty of 1400 lb bales with this baler in good conditions. The #1 downfall on the CaseIH/NH balers is very dry hay. Wet hay, tough hay, no problem. But dry hay you will have to gear down a gear to get it to start then rock on. | |
