The one thing you got on your side is the fact that you`ve ran 500 bales through it already. If it was one sitting on a lot needing that kind of money into it, might be a different story.
You pretty much know what this particular machine is about, a decent 855 around here can still bring $3500. So, if you fix it and run it another year or so and decide to trade it in, you`re probably gonna get more than $1500 out of it.
You might not get all your money out, definately not your time, but any time you start turning wrenches on your own stuff it`s hard to get money back out of that..
If you`re not custom baling, where them pretty, tight bales mean something, those chain balers will run with anything out there, and outdo most.
In my opinion, if you have the time and energy, fix er up. It`ll bug you forever if you don`t. Otherwise 20 years from now you`ll run across it in the back row of some dealership, buy it back and fix it anyway:) BW
