Who makes the best for the money? If you do bales with net wrap do they catch most of the wrap on the drum or spit a lot out with the hay? I have a lot of net wrapped hay and am wondering if a proccesser is the answer.
The aggressive design on the newer Bale King models square iron pieces that turn the bale make a big difference, also had an older one that didn't have as many cross pieces for the bale to lay on when it was turning, best to have all the cross pieces in. I think most important thing when buying a processor is to get one that has the thickest flails you can find. If you're comparing, many brands have fairly thin flails and will break much sooner than a Bale King's, which only seem to get a little shorter even after running many thousands of bales through.Shelly said:Go with a Haybuster. We had a Baleking, used it for quite a few years, thought it couldn't be beat. Then one day in the spring of 2005 the rotor broke. We needed something to feed cows with still, so we rented a used Haybuster. Hubby was so impressed with that machine, he bought a new one last fall. Said he'd never buy another brand again. Feeding is so much quicker. He can do in a half hour now what it used to take two hours before.
