A New Holland would be my choice . If he's asking $1100 it better be in good shape .
yeah those were all in ohio but it gives you an idea of what is available and what some of the stuff should go for. i thought all of those were decent prices for what they were. personally i would stick just stick to a new holland( lots of experience with them and bad experiences with john deere/mf). needles are less than $100 each and timing them is easy. dont be afraid of a rough looking one. mine sat outside for 5 or 6 years. had to cut a tree down to pull it out last summer and in a couple hours we had it up and running like clock work. missed a couple bales at the beginning but after all the rust was off the knotters we didnt have a problem. between me and my employees brother we baled close to 3000 bales with it. sisal twine only in the older balers....they werent designed to use the plastic and in my experience even after tinkering with the knotters still miss too many bales. i will take pics of mine tonite and post them tomorrow so you can see just how bad something can look but still be an awesome reliable baler.Are these in Ohio?
that is a super so the plunger should ride on bearings instead of the wooden rails. $1100 is a bit steep imo for that one but i can see why they are asking that. new knotters were probably $600 plus the labor to install and tune them. I also dont like the short tongues like that one has.Found this one too. Just got off the phone with the guy......

Duh? As soon as the barn is full of hay!!when does your new help get to cut squish bands and rework transfers
really? wish i did. closest is 50 miles away and not much help. i like massey tractors, just parts are scarce. i would see if they have a guy there can work on um if i was you.I've got a great Massey dealer near here. Before I buy anything I'll be sure parts are available.
