FB Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 quick questions 1) can the old round bales fit this?? 2) does it have a simple britains hitch not one like the JD 'square' baler that IHP had in another colour! 3)Is the Britains JD SPFH worth getting?? cheers FB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 the one i saw had a similar hitch to the marstons,hook and pin on a pivot,as for the bales,i'm not sure but if i was to guess by the pics i've seen the jd bale looks smaller?hope i've helped with one part of your question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the other green Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 FB, the old round bales won't fit in the 590 baler. I personally don't think the Britains JD self propelled forage harvester is detailed enough for me to part with the dosh to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil P Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Have to disaggree with The Other Green. The detail on the JD7500 is excellent not just the surface detail but the engine covers lift too and there is as much detail under the covers as to the exterior. Far better than the Norscot Claas 880 and 900 and I can say that in all honesty as I have both. All Britains models should be like that a sign of the future maybe?

FB Posted June 21, 2005 Author Share Posted June 21, 2005 cheers guys, looks like i'm still looking for a replacement to my old vermeer baler!!!! and might get the JD SPFH...well i'll have a closer look first!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Here's a pic of it. Looks as good as the Siku one and a bit cheaper. Also it comes with 2 heads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pingu Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 The one thing that puts me off with this model is the fact that it has a 10 row head which seems a bit big for that size forager in England. \ I know the engine could probably handle it being at 570hp but alot of contractors i think would run a 8 row as it doesn't put to much stress on the machine. someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Tractorman810 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 i can't belive i'm admitting to this but i have just repainted a vemeer into a jd bailer,just needs stickers,i must be mad but was just tinkering and thats what came out,also going to try doing a fergy one just to get my brain straight again,have you thought about doing the same fb then you can use all those round bails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 yeah i did but fancied a new one!, not sure on the best way to repaint one and where to get the decals from, i have a green one i could tart up! ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 On my model farm ha ha!, we use 2 Welger round balers the Tim Welger RP 520 and a converted siku Welger RP 320 Master I still use the good old britains bales and some of my home made ones of the same size when doing pics etc and they don't fit in the chamber ha ha! but they look better than the siku ones which in my eyes are a bit too small. Hope that helps Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted June 25, 2005 Author Share Posted June 25, 2005 yeah i could buy one of the other types and use the Britains bales for pic use as you say!! (p.s Britains, if your reading this, a new style round and small baler please that takes the old bales!! ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Yeah britains if your listening a complete Welger baler lineup would be good from little squares right through to Welger baler/wrapper combi. I'll shut up now Nath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I'd suggest the UH Claas Quantum as an alternative to the JD SPFH. It is one hell of a model! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Can't get the longer chop length though SPN. It's just not practical on the model farm. I agree though it is a proper nice model allot better than the JD chopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPN Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Wait for the Pottinger Jumbo from Siku next month. Gives the most ideal chop length for the Keenan Feeder apparently! Not sure that it is going to be able to compete with the UH Claas in pure sexiness though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCC Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 Don't think you can get much more detailed than the Claas Quantum can you??? Is the pottinger bigger than the quantum though it looks it in the pics I have seen??? but then you know what sikus photographer is like ha ha!.

james f Posted September 24, 2005 Share Posted September 24, 2005 Get the Siku Claas Rollant 250, when you put the old Britains bales in it it holds the door open about half an inch and it looks like your just about to leave out a bale. Plus its a good model in itself too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard de Florennes Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 anyone able to inform me about the exact bale size need for fitting in the JD Round Baler? Just have ordered in the Internet and now also have the chance to purchase either sets of Britains or Siku Round Balls, so if the Britains one doe not fit, might possibly those from Siku?

Richard, the bale that came in my Siku Claas Rollant 255 Roto-Cut fits into my Britiain/Ertl John Deere 590 baler, so, if all Siku bales are the same size, Siku is the one to go for (I think) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
