We've been having our hay baled with a 567 but this year some is going to be done by a Vermeer (405 maybe?) so we can have some 4' bales and I'm interested to see how the bales compare between the two balers.  Deere has most of the market around here but I think alot of that market share has come from aggressive marketing and financing as opposed to having a far superior product.  There are a few Vermeer balers around here but our closest dealer is 45 miles away and we are only 70 miles from the factory.
