I just got one this spring. LOVE it for alfalfa. Like it real well for hay. We'll find out about straw in 2 days. :) The only bent bales I get is if I turn too short they bend & don't slide up, and alfalfa that doesn't matter too much, just hay. Of 2000 bales, I got 4 that came out 'round' from getting mashed up on top of the slide chute - not bad, I'd expect a lot more busted bales from a thrower! I have a good servicable baler. Would have had to buy a different baler for over $2000 with thrower. Would have had to buy a bale wagon for $1200-1600. Found this basket & hitch for $1600. As Tim said, much less stuff to maintain, & cheaper to get. I have used my arms & 2 bale racks before this. A week ago I put up 1200 bales in 3 days, only had help one afternoon - well, my wife raked - she says that's less stress than driving the baler while I used to stack on the wagon. :) Since it pulls like a 2-wheel wagon, I find I can back it up to the barn door still hitched to the baler. Otherwise, the biggest pain is trying to unhook it when loaded. Any more info or pictures, just ask. --->Paul
