Deere 35 Series round balers

[Cam R]

I have owned Deere 335, 435, and 535 round balers, over the years. All of them performed wonderfully for me. What were the next generation of Deere balers after that series? I am primarily interested in the 435's replacement. Is there a similar sized Deere baler, that has a great reputation that does not cost an arm and a leg, as I am a retired fellow lol.

466 would be the next 4 ft wide model. I highly recommend skipping that model especially if it has wide pickup & move up to 467/567 or later model rd baler which had much better designed Mega-wide PU. Feeder forks on JD 466 wide pickup wasn't one of JD engineers most shining moments. I purchased a new 466 wide PU & after several 1000's of bales I couldn't keep feeder forks from breaking attaching bolts therefore loosing forks in hay field.

Thanks for your info on the 466 round baler and your recommendations on the 467 (and 567) I appreciate your help.

I'm not sure I should be referred to a a rd baler expert but I demonstrated/delivered new JD 410/510 rd balers in '77 & owned 6 different JD rd balers during my 35 custom rd baling career.
