"i have owned both a JD 348 and a NH 575. the NH can bale circles around the JD. not only would the NH run faster, it produced a more consistent bale and might miss tying one in 700-800 where the Deere would sometimes miss one in one hundred or more.…"

My name is Ben. I'm a senior at the University of Georgia. I farm about 1100 acres with my dad. We have four chicken houses, about 200 beef cattle, and the rest of the land is in row crops, mainly grains and soybeans. I also work as a mechanic for John Deere. Even though I had rather be farming all the time, my dad told me I had to get a degree before he would let me take over!
