Going to look at a 272 baler with an engine. Supposed to be in great shape.

What should I look for?

What are good/bad points of these balers?

How hard and expensive is it to convert to PTO?

Thanks

As far as the baler part, I would look for one with a good plunger, check that the bearings on the pitman aren't loose on either end. Run it through a full stroke to see how it goes. Check knotters for worn spots where a lot of use has made grooves where the twine rubbed, can be fixed but sometimes expensive. Check pickup for wear and feeder fork for excessive slack. slack cn be taken up but may indicate owner didn't take care of it. As far as converting to PTO I suspect it would be impracticle unless you have a loaner baler or perhaps someone who wants to convert their PTO to an engine baler. A lot of these balers in a similar size may have the same ptos and you could probably find one in a salvage yard. Maybe able to trade a good engine for the setup.
Don't think there was ever a bad NH baler
