I'm looking for suggestions for a USED baler that makes big round bales that I can use behind my 190 gas tractor (76 hp @ PTO). I'll be putting up close to 100 bales this year. I'm looking for something on the lower end of the price range. Maybe a Massey 1560 or Vermeer 605f?? Maybe not?? I have seen mixed (mostly bad) reviews about the Deere 510. Any suggestions?? Do you know of a good one for sale?? ------------- EAT BEEF! |

It seems to me that most of those balers specify a 100+ HP tractor. I could be wrong. No doubt you'd want a smaller capacity big baler. |

| I put my 660 new Holland behind my one ninety gas for a short time, and it was definitely too much baler for the tractor. I would imagine that any 5 X 6 baler would pull equally as hard, so I would say that you will have to go to like a 4 X 5 or smaller baler. Guess if you weren't in a hurry, didn't have the bale density too tight, and had all flat ground, then you could probably do it. Darrel |

We ran a 605 F behind a 190xt Diesel for years didn't have any problems, if your ground is flat, and no more than 100 bales a year, I would just plan on it. I know the gasser may not lug as well, so you could have issues in non ideal conditions, but I would think you should be fine. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

Dad pulled a 1500 Gehl for years with his 190XT gasser with no problems. He custom baled thousands of bales with it. A 1500 I think is similar in size to a 605F. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

| There is a huge difference between a one ninety gas, and an XT diesel. The same 660 new Holland that my one ninety gas struggled with, my XT diesel toys with. Darrel |

Thanks for the replies guys! Sounds like a Gehl 1500A or a Ford 552 (same thing only blue) would be my best choice. Has anyone here had experience with a Hesston 5545 ? Would that be a good one for my 190? It's a 4x5 baler. If anyone knows of one for sale, please let me know.  ------------- EAT BEEF! |

| I have an xt diesel and purchased a Hesston 560 on Big Iron a little over a year ago for 900. (yeah I know not that many can be had that cheap) but the nicest thing is the bale kicker (no backing up required when dumping a bale). There are quite a few 560/565 or case 8460/8465 balers that sell on Big Iron for a cheap price. As a matter of fact there is one going off tomorrow that looks nice but sits in Nebraska. |

I pulled a Vermeer 605C for twenty years with a 706 IH gas, I thought it was about a perfect match, about same hp as your 190 and I did 600 or 700 bales a year. ------------- 1945 C, 1949 WF and WD, 1981 185, 1982 8030, unknown D14(nonrunner) |

We have ran a New Idea 484 4x5 round baler behind our 190 XT3 diesel. It mostly played with it but a gas may have been a different story. our 484 has been a good baler. ------------- ryan 1984 8070 FWA,1979 7060,1975 7040,1971 190,1960 D-17D,1957 D-14, 196? D-19G, 1975 5040,1971? 160,1994 R62 |

We ran a 605C behind a 706 IH diesel as well and later a 605H baler. Ran both balers just fine. |

| We use a JD 385 that makes 4x5 bales. We have pulled it behind a 175 diesel, 6060, and 6070. No issues with any of them. |

Probably is 13 HP on paper, but in actuality, the difference between a non-XT gas, and an XT diesel is quite a bit more. Darrel |

| My series 4 D17 diesel turns out around 70 hp. it runs a NH 851 round baler well. If you can find 1 with new chains they will serve you well. They do not make a good looking bale. |

| Should have watched that one of big iron today was a Hesston 565a with new belts last year, thing shined like a shed kept baler. Only went for 1450. |

You should be fine. My neighbor runs a 180 diesel on a 4x5 NH 648. Runs it pretty well too. The only reason though is because his 6080 blew an engine and is in the shop. ------------- AC 200, AC 7045, NH 4630, White 508, CIH 5600, Athens 76, AC 333, Hesston 545 |
