A good used Deere 336 will run you 3000-4500 here. Well used NH 273 brought 600 on a cold rainy auction the other day. New figure mid teen thousand depending on feautres and promotions from the dealer.
Personally, anything coming out new right now looks good to me. In the used ones I like NH 273's and higher numbers, Deere 336 and 338.
A decent baler, well kept (DRY!!!!), and operated by someone with mechanical ability and the appropriate shop manual isnt too bad to keep running. A worn out, rusted up heap, of questionable design to start with is a nightmare. Any machine that has to tie two knots at the same time, at high speed, in field conditions, consistantly, more than once a minute is a precision machine used in imprecise conditions.
I personally wouldnt consider haying with less than 20 acres of good quality hay land in a temperate climate. Realistically, I wouldnt consider haying profitably with less than 2-3 times that.
