Round Balers

[Anonymous-0]

What is a good used round baler 4x4 to start out with. I need it to run behind my 3020 JD with one hydraulic remote. I looked at a New Holland 7050 4x4 and is $17,000 and I want one used for $4,000 to $5,000. Thanks for any opinions!!!!!!!!

You can find a 630 NH around Pa for $4500-$5500. Its a belt baler and will do 4 x 4 bales.

Claas 44S is a good older baler. Just open it up and make sure that the rollers aren't all beat to hell, check that the chains and sprockets are in decent shape, that the pickup isn't cracked and falling off at it's pivot point and that the twine motor works correctly if possible.
At the very least, inspect the rollers and the hydraulics that they don't creep down too quickly.
Make sure you've got 60+ hp in front of it too.

You can run most 4X5 balers with that tractor. If you only want a 4X4 bale, Stop early. A Vermeer 504G or H maybe.

We use a KRONE 125 4x4 fixed chamber baler.

Very simple to operate; only one hydraulic hose, mechanical tie, and only 32hp tractor required.

you can also run a Vermeer 504C, which is same as my Badger 614 shown. Makes 4x5 bales. These are usually < $2,000 and require only 35 pto hp, and single double-acting remote.
