The LS MT573 runs a bale spear throughout, and the owner briefly notes its affordability, low operating cost, and good warranty. A John Deere 5100E and 460M baler also appear. Casual and conversational, with no specs or comparisons, best for owners curious how the MT573 holds up in a real high-volume hay operation.
Posted by the Pecan Creek Farm channel, which appears to be an owner-operator sharing footage from their own farm work.
The owner says it runs double spikes front and rear all day long, every day, with no problem handling the bales, even in windy conditions.
The owner says they really like the affordability and operation cost, calling it fairly cheap to maintain, and notes it has a good warranty.
The crew cuts and hauls right over 250 large round bales across 160 acres of prairie, with several loads hauled out over multiple days.
