[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 1808526, member: 2383"] I don't care what brand you buy, don't go with their economy version - which is what you currently have. We have always owned Vermeer balers and I have no issues with them other than scarcity of dealers in our area. Currently have a 604M and it's a monster of a baler, and pulls like it. Only complaint is that it is sensitive to belt condition, it came to me with relatively slick belts in it and would plug fairly easy. I put a new set of Mini-Rough Top's on it and you have to work to plug it now. Vertical chamber balers rely on the belt traction to carry the hay up and flip it in the chamber for the start of the roll. I'd like to have a second baler so I can sleep a little better at night when there's a bunch of hay on the ground. Probably going to be a xx7 or xx8 series JD baler, just because of the simplicity and parts availability. Plus I've never owned a JD baler and I'd like to try one, and I'm not getting any younger.
