You haven't had a John Deere dealership work on a square baler have you?
I had one that was working when I brought it in and asked them to adjust the timing because it would miss 1 in 20 bales. Got a $1700 bill and the baler never tied another bale again.
If they can show you its working $2000 is a little on the high side for a 435 IH baler - but I'm sure their bill for the work on the knotter was probably at least half that amount. I'd want them to show me it was working before I paid that amount though. But if its one of those balers that only seen a few thousand or less bales a year it could easily be worth it.
In my area (NE Kansas) any decent baler in working condition seems to start at $1500 and go up from there. You might see a an old IH 45 or 46 (maybe an old JD 14T) go for $500-$700 that "worked the last time they used it" but working New Holland 68s, 69s and newer along with John Deere 214s, 224s and newer start at the $1500 mark and higher.

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
