I have one neighbor that has half a dozen of them now, and another neighbor that has a couple as well. Everyone in these parts that I've talked to seem to like them, but I understand you have to back off the bale tension a bit, and can't make tight turns with them.
I had a local dealer quote me out a pair of new EZ-Trail baskets just a couple weeks ago, and the price was reasonable (or so I think) if I want to drive to Illinois and pick em up myself, but still hoping to find 2-3 used ones cheaper.
I make a bit of straw and looking to expand, but labor is my issue, as well as pretty much everyone else's issue. I figure I can make them pay for themselves in 2 to 3 seasons in lost time (waiting for someone to show up wanting to work) and labor saving (paying 2 kids $10-12 a hour to stack on the wagon). When my dad isn't busy and can drive the tractor for me it pans out, because I can stack wagons myself, but since we now work different hours, the only time that works is on weekends. As it is now, on weekends I will pay 4-5 guys plus myself and my dad to try to keep the baler moving and keep wagons empty, with baskets I think 4 of us could get by just fine. Until the barn gets quite full I can do most of the stacking in the barn myself, as long as someone sends bales up the elevator for me.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
