"I was still willing to have them look at my baler with the hopes that I could just write the check and have it back to me in working order without all the headache and hassle of getting it running myself"
When someone makes a statement like that to a dealer it comes across as reading something like "I want the old junker to work like a new one and I don't want to be bothered messing with it"... and if it doesn't work like a new one the 'dealer' will soon get an earfull about all the money they were just paid to make it work and now the worn out old baler doesn't work right....
So... dealer looks at it from the perspective that they are going to replace all perishable type wear parts.... bearings, bushings, springs, billhooks, knives, etc so that they can guarntee it will work WITHOUT ANY HEADACHES.
On the other hand, the baler may work just fine the way it is with some very basic simple maintenance.... but any 30 year old baler is very apt to want a certain amount of attention throughout the season... so you pick your poison. Cheap or reliable... Seems about 90% don't want to draw that distinction.
