I went through the same thing as you this spring. We decided to go with high moisture hay. I knew my dry baler wouldn't do the job so I started looking. I can tell you this. The New Holland and Case IH baler will almost roll wet hay the way they come from the factory. The John Deere won't. NH and CIH balers have a "floor roll" that carries the weight of the bale. JD belts carry the weight. Any of the silage balers will also roll dry hay. The big difference in silage balers is the pickup. They are made heavier and with an extra bar in the pickup. The teeth are larger in diameter also. I have a NH 460 RotoFeed. It has a drop bottom. It also has endless belts. I saw a CIH 460 silage baler run Monday. It did not have the RotoFeed and it took the hay in just fine. I can tell you this, they are not cheap! Good Luck!!
