Getting hay equipment for the first time.

samedi 3 mars 2018

Looking at getting into baling my own hay instead of hiring it done. Called a local dealer that has a Rancher 665 that looks new with 1500 bales on it for 13k. What do you guys know about these? Was looking for a 5x6 baler as that is what we have always hired out although there were times i measured bales at 5x5.5. the rancher is listed at 61" x 66" so a 5x5.5 how much weight differnce is there compaired to what a 605sm or 568. Will be only baling about 600 bales a year for personal use.
Also he has a pretty clean new holland H7330 which is a 10 foot discmower with flail conditioner for 10k. Will be baling mostly coastal and tiffton 85 bermuda and some ryegrass. Possibly maybe some clovers/legumes in my pecan orchard in early spring.

Should I be looking at a 605sm or 568/569? The rancher baler has both net and twine. Seen a 605sm with 11k bales on it for 11.5k$ with just string would that be a better fit?
Also i have a CaseIH 7110, JD5100e, Kubota m8540 as far as cab

tractors go and a few 75 pto and under uncabed.
Will a 5100e pull both the mower and baler(even a 605sm). Just incase my 7110 is busy doing other work or broke down (hasnt yet).

Also wanted to add, I have never weigheda baleof hay before but compairing to super sacks of pecans that weigh 1500lbs seems we never have bales (5x6) that weigh more than 1500lbs.
