That one is a John Deere 568, as are four others in the neighborhood. They range from 15000 bale count on up. I don't know if they are the best baler, but they are the one I know the best. I bought one last March, and after a little tuning I really like it. The 68,000 bale count unit I have...

It was a treat, but the end justified the means. Doesn't bale quite like new, but as close as one with 68,000 bales thru it can. This year's baler payment, and money well spent.

This computer spells way worse than I do, baling, dammit

Yearlings all gone as of last Friday, a crew preconditioned calves this morning , may have got them all done. IDK, as I was dissecting a baler pickup with a twisted off shaft, been broke a while but didn't find it until last Thursday. Irrigate, irrigate, and work on the new house. Pee-poor...

We are actually caught up on baling and one set of yearlings left this past week. Two more groups go this coming week, along with third cutting just starting and some oat straw to bale. Busy times, with no rain related time off. May be some of the best quality hay I have ever helped harvest...

Can you switch that pivot back and take a bad tie-rod end off that rake tractor? I didn't think that was the whole trouble, and, yep. Started out with 3 fresh rake wheels, and all the teeth we had. The rake is almost right, just needs a fresh tire. Tie rod end wound up switching an axle leg...

I don't know how balers cash flow. We shag ours with a 4430. Radio sucks. Rake 4430 barely has a radio. 6625 ish thru them last year. Ain't too concerned with modern features.

Next June I'll be pulling a 568 JD that will have 60,000 bales counted through it. Probably 5,000 mis-wraps. Not saying that's the best baler, but it has been busy. Just buy parts...

Brad we just flip them over then change them as needed. That varies with conditions but I would guess a set lasts 500 acres.

I've heard a Claas triple mower will cut 30 acres an hour. We scrape it off and flip 50 blades in 20 minutes. Grease in about the same. Last year I swathed a big half circle of alfalfa and hauled the MacDon home in ten hours on a good day. The Claas will road there and back after swathing in...

We have one painted black also, just a run a round Yukon. Gotta keep it parked in the shade. Hope your new puller passes the test, Muddy. Always have liked the Cummins power. I drove a chipped 12 valve with an add on Jake. Needed more radiator but the stop was always there.

Thanks Big Muddy. That's the price, FOB Denver, for 36 feet. Figure the freight, that' s 32 feet Canadian. The director saved 800 off a Bismarck quote to go get it.

What is the Us-Can exchange rate now, if there is one? A longer Merritt picked up in Denver is a ways shorter on price, U.S. dollars. A third longer in fact, for about 80 percent of that price. Maybe not as fancy, I don't know.

First I have heard of a back door unlatching in transit. I have seen enough flex to unlatch center gates. Not a fun deal I'm sure. Latches were surely worn. I have nearly tied a 28 foot Featherlite in a knot pulling bulls in rough terrain and not had a latch issue.

Not trying to argue at all but think about the rear gate on a pot. Never seen a full swing back gate. I have seen a slider instead of a roll door. That 4 corner strength holds the back end together. Aluminum has the same strength and flex no matter the trailer size.

That's a cargo latch alright. Featherlite, Wilson, Merritt, and Exiss all have them to my knowledge. If you don't tie the corners together an aluminum trailer will pop open. Slider can rattle like a loose leaf if it's latched, but latch a full door in the middle only, not a good plan.

Sounds like you wouldn't care for a Merritt either VB. Featherlite may suit your fancy, but they have a cargo latch on the full door also. As does every aluminum stock trailer I have ever seen. Is there a model or brand that suits your taste? I am just asking.

A new Merritt 32 ft showed up around here last winter. We are very pleased so far. A perfect match for the F 550. Pulls easier than the 24 ft steel trailer it replaced. I have never seen a Frontier brand. My brother has an Exiss and likes it.

I agree with the pivot arms being handier. A belt driven pump is also a good idea. One company, with the leading pump tech, has switched from clamp to pivot arms. Not the brand I use, but there was a reason. I get along fine with same brand that is pictured on this forum regularly. Pivoting...

Next youngest brother has 2 of them. One with a DewEeze he has put a lot of use on. Bought them both on purpose. My nephew just got a new Hydra-Bed set up on his V-10, 02 I think. Bought that on purpose too. I want to know how bad your 460 is, but I'm cheap like that. Love my 94 F-350.
