Well... I actually have one. It's shoved more than a quarter million bales through it's shute. The knotters are of the same design as most NH balers used. The feeding system resembles a Claas more than anything else I've seen. Some say it's a baler that was made for Ford by Long. That's quite probable... They were a good baler. The downside is that parts are expensive for them and many things are NLA. Most of wht you need probably is available or can be rigged up to work... but items like pickup fingers are about 25 bucks each from NH. SHoup supposedly has one that will fit ofr less than 5 bucks... but still expensive for how often they give out. The over running clutch in the PTO hub is also a fairly common failure... at about 400 bucks I think. I welded a piece of steel to the hub and yolk on mine so now I no longer have an ORC... but I didn't spend 400 bucks... Otherwise it works fine. 750 bucks for a good working baler is probably a decent deal depending on the market in your area. 5 years ago it wouldn't have brought more than scrap price here. Now the old balers are worth a mint again... So... a 532 would not be at the top of my list by any means but if the options are limited, it will work. I'd much prefer a Hesston/CaseIH inline but I think you'd be looking at 4-5 times the money for one of them...
