Would you make me a list of good bailers

Round or square? Assuming square I would say JD 224 or 336 although for that kind of money it probably lacks a thrower. We had a NH 270 way back during the 1970's and it did well. From a parts stand point it is hard to recommend anything other than a Deere or NH. Assuming that you are hand loading onto wagons or putting bales on the ground a 336 which would be at your maximum price of 2000 would be the best choice IMO.
 

Have had good luck with MF 9 for several decades, only a couple major breaks, none of which couldn't be fixed on farm.
 
Guess that shows what I don't know. Apparantly they made a couple single ID number bailers. At least the #3 and #9

The 9 is sort of a basic version of a 12.

3 and 10 are much older.
 
IMHO - for that price range, you'll have to turn a wrench to some extent, however:

New Holland 268, 273 and John Deere 24T. If you are lucky, a John Deere 336.

Good luck,
Bill
 
I've been real happy with my MF 3. I only bale grass hay on small fields for our horses. The 3 is a small simple baler, easier to move around, doesn't take much power to run. The manual claims only 15 hp needed, and I believe it, the built in slip clutch won't let you apply much power. I know a compact utility tractor, (Kubota, etc) can run it on flat ground, the limitation being weight and traction to control the baler and wagon on hills.
 
Have baled with JD 14t in the 1960's, Ihc 46 in the 1980's and in the 1990's a JD 214t. What are you going to pull it with. That will have some impact on your choice. If you like sq bales All 3 of these worked good at that time.
