[Wheat Straw]

Hi, just signed on today. Raised on a dairy farm in the ft smith area. Always been connected to agriculture. On an acreage that is part of the farm that Dad bought in 49 when I was 11 months old.Been running mama cows growing hay here and on lease land. Usually sell about 500 4x5's grass hay. Have a vermeer round baler and a new holland 65 compact square baler. Enjoy doing what I can at 74 years young.
Have any of you owned a 554XL twine net vermeer baler. Like to upgrade to net. Give me your thoughts on this baler.
Thanks, Andy

Welcome Andy!!!! Glad to have ya.

I'd offer advice on you baler question but I live in western Utah and usually dry and dusty. Not conducive for much hay production. Wish you was closer as I'd be buying hay from you

Welcome to ranchers,
I run a Vermeer N series I like it, makes a solid bale.
Sorry no experience with the XL series.

Welcome to ranchers. I hope someone can answer your question. We ran Vermeer balers that used net wrap, but I can't remember what series. Seems like it was Super M...

Welcome to the forum. The only baling I do these days is in the bag of my Husky lawnmower.

We have the same baler as Big Muddy, love the netwrap, have never used twine.
Welcome!

Thanks everyone for your input. As I have looked around a bit for balers I might like twine better than I thought. Like every thing else people are proud $$$$$ of balers, especially net wrap. You never know when a "deal" might show up.
