n my quest to find a small square baler I can run with my 27 PTO hp, I ran across a MF 12 baler, shed stored. It appear to be in good shape, used last year and did fine. Owner did admit it eats shear bolts if you do not watch the wind rows. I wonder if that is a warning sign. He powered it with an older JD 2010 gas tractor. . He has a NH side deliver rake that he uses.
In looking it over pickup is in good shape, no bent tines, no major rust on unit. However several of the packer arms need work, one broken tip, two bent slightly.

Any information you have would be helpful.
Local auctions start next month so I may pass and see what luck turns up.

It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
