We've had a Class 44s for the better part of 30 years... I have yet to see any baler of it's generation make a better bale in spite of a lot of clap trap talk. I've weighed them and know the difference. As has been mentioned, if you operate it correctly you will get a very solid bale. And to be charitable.... a modern Claas with net wrap will probably outbale your present baler by 3 to 1 because the older one will outbale it by 2-1 or more with twine... I have always found it helpful to maintain a stock of bearings in each size required.... and some pickup parts including cam followers. It doesn't need them frequently, but on occasion it will burn up a bearing; usually on the drive side of the roller. Aside from that you won't need too many parts. They're easy to repair as long as you know how to pull a gib key.... and they have a LOT of gib keys.... I've changed a few rollers and actually broke the shaft out of one roller last year but overall this has been a very reliable baler. I've never seen one burnt to the ground yet either.... and I can't say that about the others. The Rollant's are made to bale silage. If that's what you're baling, you need one. If you're baling dry hay, the advantage will not be so great, but personally I see little reason to own anything else.

Today's Featured Article - A Brief History of Tractors in Australia - by Bob Kavanagh. After Captain Cook's exploration of the east coast in 1770 the British Government decided to establish a penal colony in Australia. The first fleet arrived in 1788 and consisted mainly of convicts who were poorly equipped and new little of farming techniques. The colony remained far from self-supporting and it was not until the early 1800's that things started to improve. Free settlers started to arrive, they followed the explorers across the mountains and where land was suitable set up farms. T
