I've been looking for a good NH 273 or JD 24T as these seem to be very popular with you knowledgable people. There is a NH 276 for sale about 100 miles away and before I went the distance to look at it I need to know if that model is a popular one, It's kind of pricey 2250.00 supposed to be in excellent condition, kept inside and all that. I looked at a NH 269 that's been sitting outside for a number of years with wet hay in it and it looks like rust has taken over the underside, to bad. There sure is a lot of different model numbers, Its difficult to know whats what. All help is appreciated. ChuckKS

I've looked around and found a nice (new to me) JD 14T, the big question is how much will you bale? I do @ 30 acres of my own and 20 of my neighbors, it works great! and I paid $350 for it. I would never get my money out of a new baler, but this suits my purpose, and I agree about transport, you really cannot pull one very fast for a long time, I turned down a 24T for a little more because it was 100 miles away. I would say stick with a NH or JD, and good luck

A few years back I bought a NH 271 for $300. I was a bit rusty but I cleaned it up, adjusted things per the manual and I've had no problems with it. Granted, I bale less than 1000 bales a year but for my needs it's been a good investment. (By the way, I use an 8N)

If you get serious about it, give some thought to how you're going to get it home. I made the mistake of buying a baler too far from home on the recommendation of the seller that it could be towed home "no problem". That turned into a 3 day ordeal. They really aren't built for the highway, so you better have a good route planned using slow speed, non-busy, secondary roads. Or have a transport truck (flatbed) lined up.

I have a 276. It is a fairly high capacity baler and makes very uniform bales. It will bale at least as fast as the John Deere 338 baler I owned a few years back. It is a much heavier built machine than a 273. A real good 276 will bring about the price you mentioned, at least in my area. I like the 276.

I used to own a NH 273, but stopped baling small bales and went to round bales. I sold the 273 to a friend who still uses it each year. It was and is a very good, reliable machine. If memory serves me correctly I believe the 276 was a little heavier duty model than the 273 and had a faster plunger speed and maybe even a larger throat to the bale chamber. A neighbor had one and used it to do custom baling. I never knew him to have a problem with it.

NH273 is a good machine, I have a neighbor that has used one faithfully for years without problem. As you noted, balers need to be cleaned out and shedded when not in use, weather & moisture will destrpy them quickly.
