Did Ford build these or did they come from somebody else and get painted blue?
Anyone have experience with one? Are the knotters a copy of someone else's work? I am looking at buying one as a possible backup and a guy I know has one that he'd sell cheap. He used it as his main baler but only puts up 300 bales a year. He's renting the ground to me now and wants to get rid of the baler to make room in his shop. What is a going rate for these? I've seen good New Holland balers of similar age (I am assuming 268, 269s are about the same age) go from $1500 to $2800 in working condition.
