Went with a friend today to check out a baler he is interested in. It looked ok for the price but I'm no round baler expert by any means. Is there any common issues with these?
It looked like a pretty simple to use machine and he and I both liked the fact that it automatically tied. Is there any problems with the auto tie setup to look for?
He liked it but wanted to wait the weekend and sleep on it and see if was still there Monday.
Asking price is $4,750, twine tie only, paint was faded and it did have some rust on the tin work. The bale chamber looked good as did the belts. The owner said he bought it 5-6 years ago and said he put up less than 100 bales a year with it. It looked like he cared for it pretty well but the owner before him might not have quite as much. He had replaced a few chains and bearings along with 2 belts fairly recently. That's about all I can tell you about it
So does this sound like a decent deal to you guys or should my friend pass on this one?
