Let me start out by saying that I'm new to hay, but am learning a lot by reading on this site. I'm planning on picking up a John Deere 348 baler sometime over the fall/winter. I'll probably buy new from my local dealer. I was wanting to know what options would be worth getting, from those with experience? I understand the multi-luber gets recommended a lot, and I was planning on getting it. Here are some of the others available that I was wondering about:
Hydraulic bale tensioner (is it really much better than a hand crank?)
Hydraulic pickup (my ground is uneven, so I'm think yes on this one.)
Hydraulic tongue positioning (sounds self-explanatory, but not sure if it's really better than pulling a pin and positioning it by hand)
Side hay resistor (didn't know if this would be necessary/beneficial for my use.)
If it makes a difference, I'm planning on baling orchardgrass hay, and my tractor is about 60 PTO horsepower and has 2 remotes. Also planning on pulling a Kuhns accumulator, so I assume I'll need to get a wagon hitch on the back of the baler.
Also, I know the New Holland and Massey balers get a lot of recommendations, but my closest dealer is Deere, and I've had good luck dealing with them in the past. Hence, my decision to go with the 348.
