New Oliver Baler

Traditional Farmer · Sep 2, 2016

Tried out the Oliver 62-T baler today that I bought last Saturday for $200,baled good even had twine in it ready to go the orange poly type but it baled a few bales no problem.
Word was that it had been sitting in a barn for about 12 years it was greased up ready to bale.It has a hydraulic jack type thing to tighten the bales never seen anything exactly
like it.

Where do you guys keep finding these cheap balers? The last three I looked at has spent the last several years setting outside and the owners still wanted over $1500 each. Local Oliver baler for sale:

Sounds like to stole that baler from some one for that price and it working

I bought it an auction,they sold several pretty good New Holland balers 273,68,269 and one more and highest one (273) with a kicker bought $1000 the 68 only bought $150 and was complete and
didn't look that bad.New Holland rakes went pretty cheap too,I started to buy one but already have 2 good NH rakes and a fellow is trying to sell me an Oliver rake.

Are you an Oliver collector? I need to read-bone up on Oliver square balers. I can't remember, but I was thinking Oliver or MM may have had the first or first prototype inline baler concept. Always looking for some old iron to read/learn about. Hey - beats playing video games for this kind of sort of very part time humble haymaker/farmer.... ;-)

If your 62 bales anything like my 620, you've got a pretty decent baler there!
I sure like my 620. Only complaint is the pickup is a bit narrow.
If I feed mine good quality twine, it works great.
Problem has been getting good quality Sisal this year. Inconsistent diameter, from thick to thin and this black stiff crap wound up in it.

The baler came threaded with the orange poly twine and worked fine with the few bales I made with it.

I have quite a few Oliver tractors I use not exactly a collector, more of an accumilator (LOL).Anyway I've never been around many Oliver balers so don't know much about them I'd be
interested in the history as well.

I have seen an MM inline, at the time they were separate competing companies, the Oliver roto-flo worked good in hay, not as well in straw

Oliver Heritage magazine had an article on those balers last year I think.
