I use a JD2440 (60HP) with a 327 square baler. It's time to upgrade. I am wanting to start round baling. Most of our ground is relatively flat, but have a few hills. I know that will make some difference. We grow alfalfa, and some mixed grasses. I will still use the square bailer for the hay we sell, and can pick and choose what and where I bail with the round bailer.
My question is, does anyone have any experience with a round bailer and this size tractor? What bailer(and size bail) would work with this tractor? I don't want to go to a bigger tractor for cost reasons. The 2440 has less than 1700 hrs, and is in great condition. I will have to move the bails with a 3 pt. bail spear, as I don't have a loader that would lift that kind of weight. Just as a point of reference, I will most likely bail about 100 to 125 bails a year.
OK guys, let's hear your thoughts. Thanks, Bill
