I don't know where you are in WI Steve but in the Western Wi it was a very hard year to make hay. So waiting for someone is not an option in my mind. You got a lot of great comments, especially from Bruce. If you cannot find a large square baler guy to hire that can be there when you want him, then it would seem you would be better off investigating further the market for the type of baler you either have or can afford for your size operation.

A second thought, is there a market for bailage in your area. One neighbor does organic bailage with all large squares, baling and wrapping is hired. This also seems to widen his window for baling (someone can set me straight if this is not true). Of course a wrapper person has to be available also but the baler guy may have this connection if not the wrapper.

Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
