hey guys. Hope you can help me out.
I'm new to this stuff, I'm a generation removed from the farm and looking to get back in it. My family has 40 acres of hay land that we rent out but I'm wanting to invest in equipment and take over so I can make bales for my horses and maybe sell some of my extra without paying the middle man. Obviously I'm just starting out, I don't need anything two fancy.
Anyways, my brother sent me a link to an online auction in my province, and I found two 850 balers on there, unreserved and for dirt cheap. One is $50 but it says its missing a chain, the other is $120.
I wanna know how these balers are to run? Would I be in over my head trying to run one if I never ran baler before? Do they make good bales? Plug easily? Common problems? Are parts available for them? Easy to fix? Are there still manuals floating around for them?
Whatever information you can give me would be appreciated. Thanks!
