I won't be much help on the mechanical aspect of them, I do remember my father working on these when I was a lot younger, we had 2 of them. I recall springs, belts, guides and other miscellaneous items being replaced. Not sure who manufactured them. From what I recall, they did seem to perform well on the 60 or so acres of hay and or alfalfa we baled annually. Only reason we had them was because we owned a ford dealership at the time, was not too much trouble to hit up the parts dept if something broke. If only that 532 baler was as reliable, from what I recall. The mower did cut well, 4000 tractor and mower was stuck once, our neighbor the farmer came over and pulled er out, as my father ran out of time had to go to work, he also cut the remainder of the field, and surprisingly remarked at how well it cut, he was a dairy farmer, was doing up to 20,000 small squares back then. Largest field we did then was 20 acres, and it sure seemed to mow reliably for what we did. Matter of opinion here, for a few acres, should be fine, that is if they are in working order and or you can still source parts, be nice if parts can be cross referenced with NH or other manufacturers.
