[AT] Old baler guidance needed

[John Hall]

Just checked Craigslist, there are a few 273 New Holland balers closer 
to you than me, prices from $1-3000.

What are you doing for a tedder? I bought a 3 point 2 basket about 4-5 
years ago for $550. I figured it paid for itself in just a couple 
cuttings by speeding up the drying (I use a sickle mower, not a 
conditioner). I generally ted the hay 2-3 times, helps get it out of the 
field before the sun bleaches it.

All other things being equal(like age and condition), a New Holland will be $700-$1000 more than any other make.   I am attending an auction that has  a 269 this weekend,  But after that I am done looking at New Hollands.   Especially with my acreage.  I can't afford a 1500-2500 baler
