GS: We ran both the NH S-69 baler with thrower and wagons, and also the NH 460 9' haybine for a couple of years before getting the 560. After that the 560D did most of both jobs, however we still often baled with 300 if 560 was still on haybine. Of course as well as running these machines a bit easier the 560D and later 656D were much more fuel efficient. It didn't take us long here in Canada to shine up to those diesels. Our governments fuel tax system has always caused us to pay about 40% more for fuel. I see the guys crying last week about $2.00 per gal gas. Guess what if you convert our litres to US gallons and Canadian dollar to US we are already over the $3.00 mark. That my friend was the real item that sidelined those old Farmall gassers here. They are quite heavy drinkers anyhow.
