Subject: Re: What are your thoughts on a Gehl 1475 Round baler


I don't know about that particular model but the older one ( think it was the 1470, mabey) ... but my neighbour has a couple of them. They both work good. I'm not saying he hasn't tweaked a few things, but they seem to be good reliable balers for him. He can bale hay or silage with them and it seems to do well in both. They make nice tight good looking bales.

I think those are pretty good value balers right now. They're cheap bewcause it seems that nobody wants an orphan now that Gehl is out of the farm equipment business.
I don't think there is a whol lot on them that can't be obtained locally in the way of parts, or fabbed if need be... so I wouldn't be scared of one on that basis.
If you're getting into fancy electrics on a net wrap machine then it might get more dicey down the road, but a basic twine machine would be easy to keep running I think.
