I traded in my NH 4x5 round bailer a year and a half ago. It was inherently a PITA and refused to run 52 over the edge net (Bridon or Tama) consistently and I never liked the the in cab electronic display or the driving - filling readout and I did not care for the extra sweep pickup either. Least NH hay tools have good resale value, I did real good on a trade actually. Got a brand new Kubota BV (Kneverland 4x5) bailer with all the options (centralized lubrication system, wide pickup with outboard screw augers, full electronic control with in cab variable density on the fly control and it actually consistent wraps over the edge net, over the edge) and it's very easy to load a new roll of net as well. I never liked the NH net loading procedure where you had to feed the tail into the center of the net feeding attachment and deal with that. The Kubota round bailer has a net window on the right side and loading a roll is a simple procedure. I just feed the tail under the 1st spreader, over the top of the second spreader and feed the remaining tail into the window, leaving about 5" hanging down. Reset the linear footage sensor to zero and set the wrap at 4 for the first bale to allow the net to spread over the first round completely and then reset the wrap to 2.5 which is what I run them at. Whole procedure takes about 5 minutes total.
I do reduce the PTO speed when wrapping however because like the HN bailer, excessive wrap speed tends to leave excess net hanging in the feed spreader rolls.
And, the Kubota bailer carries 2 rolls of net under the right side shield not like a NH where the extra net is carried on the back end of the bailer in the optional (and expensive) net container.
Best part was the trade in. I bought a 50 grand bailer with my trade in for 10 grand and I got 0 percent financing on it aw well as quarterly payments.
I don't miss the NH Roll Belt at all actually.
One thing I'm happy about is I do no tillage at all, Running hay (alfalfa grass mix) is simply overseeding established fields and setting the seed with a drag and of course fertilizing it between cuts and applying the necessary herbicide and pesticides, which have went through the roof cost wise but then you already know that plus the stupid cost of Urea today. Granulated 46 went from 15 bucks a sack to 50. Crazy prices. I quit using 46 and went to foliar inoculant using of all things DEF which is urea anyway and I spray it on and with ORD diesel costing what it does today (and I'm reasonably sure the price won't decrease in the immediate future), tillage eats diesel so not having to do it is a savings for me and no green stuff here either plus I run all pre 4 tractors and have no desire to upgrade to the computer controlled common rail stuff out there today.
Running hay is pretty easy other than dealing with Mother Nature and her rain events and I always make money on it as well. I have just 2 customers that buy everything and have for years and always want more. My philosophy about it is, I don't want to make any more. At my age, more isn't a good thing plus I have the complete operation down to just me and 2 prime movers and only reason I have to tractors is it's always a PITA to switch out implements so the disc bine stays coupled to one unit while the rake and / or tedder goes on the other and when it's bale time, the disc bine comes off and the bailer goes on and the other tractor gets the bale spears and I use it for loading my customer's semi's.
Been eyeing a new Kubota center point disc machine with rubber crimp rolls but so far my NH Mow Max discbine is trouble free and runs like a clock so a new machine for me is just a thought at this point. One thing about the NH disc machine and that is the cutter knives are pretty cheap when buying from Shoup whereas the Kubota machine has no aftermarket knives available.
Never did pictures but maybe next season I will, who knows.
