John Deere 566 Baler

Greetings.

I am new to hay production and attempting to assemble the equipment needed to slowly build the business without going into debt.

I am considering purchasing a 1998 John Deere 566 Round Baler; twine only.

I was told that the belts and sprockets were replaced in March of 2013.

It has a regular pickup and a bale count of 10,630.

It seems to run well with no screaming bearings.

Baling has not been proven yet, but will be prior to completion of transaction.

The asking price is $6,000 USD including a couple of small repairs, delivery, and testing.

I am requesting opinions, comments, and suggestions regarding this baler.

Many thanks in advance.

Take care.
