Local auction tommorow has a 2.30 round baler. I was wondering if they reliable units, what it would be worth and what to look for on a round baler. Also wondering what size of bale it would make. I need a smaller bale so my 3410 gehl skid would move em. Thanks Kurt

My neighbor had one and he likes it. His made a 4by 4 bale. If it sat outside for a while the trip to tie the bale on his got all rusted up and we had to clean it up good. After that it worked great.

Yes Darrel it is a roller model no belts. So what are the advantages to all rollers and not the belts?

We have a friend that has a Claas with rollers. He says that his bales aren't as dense as a baler with belts. I know he has had bearings go out on his from time to time but his has seen quite a few bales in it's lifetime. I'm not sure how many you are planning on baling per year but I'd say if you are only doing a few hundred and it goes cheap it would be a good buy.

The roller type are much better for corn stalks and bean stubble, if you plan on baling any of that. They eat the belts up in a hurry.

I have a gehl 1310 which makes a 4X4 bale like the deutz baler. Deutz baler has more rollers than mine. Make sure it has the auto lube to oil all the chains. This is a must otherwise you will be spending alot of money on metric chain and sprockets. It makes a soft core bale but you can make them almost as dence as a belt baler if you slow down a bit twards the end of the bale and really pack it in there. Once your tractor starts to really grunt you know you have a nice bale. I would not hesitate to buy one. Very simple to bale with, almost no weaving required.

They take a lot of more hp than a belt or chain baler. It was all our 175 wanted toward the end of the bale with my uncle's DA. They don't stack very well or weather outside as well solid core bale. The tailgate hinges are the weak spot. They can be broken very easy if you let the tailgate down on the bale you just ejected. They don't eject the bale like a belt baler so they have a kicker on the back. I've never seen one that the kicker worked so you have to back up to dump the bales.
With all that being said, they are pretty trouble free and can be had cheap. I know where there is a good DA baler for sale right now for $500.

with the soft core baler, you are limited to making only one size bale, which may, or may not be an issue, Depends on your situation. When you finish a field, and only have a half a bale in the chamber, you basically have a half bale of loose hay. With the soft core baler, you can bale hay slightly wetter, and the bale will cure out to make for some very nice hay, especially alfalfa. By having rollers instead of belts, you eliminate belt splice trouble, which can be an issue when belts get age on them. On our place, we use mostly the new holland 660 hard core balers, but have a caseIH 8480 softcore baler around for some occasions where it just works better, like baling cornstalks this fall. Darrel

Thanks guys for your input!! Went and stood in the rain all day to find out that the owner bought it and now is going thru a divorce and never used it. He said he didnt even know if it worked, so it brought $750 and I just couldnt buy it. I went up to 700 to take the chance but i didnt know if it was worth it just not knowing nothing about round balers in the first place.
