Yeah, I know. You're bored to tears with this topic.
I bought this 855 baler 2 years ago for $1500 and it cost me all of $38 to put it in the field. Have run 400-500 bales thru it and it hasn't even "blinked" one time. Just keeps goin' and goin'.
LOVE THIS BALER!
However, it is starting to worry me a bit. The chain is showing some age, sprokets and rollers as well. Some of the boltholes in the bars are getting elongated. Plus, I noticed yesterday that the door hinge bushings are in need of replacment.
I'm mechanical, I can do the work, but it's probably gonna take a good $3500 to rebuild it. $3500 to rebuild a baler that I gave $1500 for.
I'm a tightwad. Every fiber of my being says to just overhaul 'er this winter.
A good belt baler is gonna run right at $16K for a decent used unit.
A dollar is a dollar, right? Not really so sure newer is better? $3500 vs $16K.
