In that era, NH balers outsold everything else.
The 2 JD models you list were also good.
No other color of baler was at all popular, and don't have any kind of parts support.
I'd look for a NH 69 or newer model NH baler. The 69 through 271 are all very similar, good solid older lower power balers that put out 100's of thousands of bales with no trouble.
Of those you list, boy. Guess I'd look the newer JD over pretty close. Not really familiar with the NH 68 to be honest, that sounds like a little older design? Really between the JD & NH machines it comes down to the one in better shape.
I'm a blue guy, love Ford tractors. I'd stay away from the Ford baler just because here anyhow, I'd be the only one who owns one and couldn't find parts anywhere. NH and JD figuered out knotters first, got them to work right first, and that's really what a baler is all about - getting the 2 knots right 998 out of 1000 bales.... Less than that is a waste of time and effort.
