i have just purchased an oliver 60 t baler that seems to be in fairly decent shape. got it cheap enough that it could be cut into iron and money made, but after i got to looking at it, i am thinking of restoring it. can anyone tell me anything about these balers, good or bad, and does anyone know where i can get a manual for this baler?

I responded in the Oliver forum but will respond here too. We have a 50 that my grandfather bought 2 years old in the 50's. It had seen a lot of use until 15 years ago or so. It bales a little hay and straw now but not much. It works just fine. I would not want to bale thousands of bales a year with it. Parts are difficult if not impossible to get. I don't know what Ray's trouble was. Ours works just fine and always has.

I borrowed one that I used last summer for about 1200 bales. It was a nightmare. Bales were banana shaped, knotting was a constant problem, and the thing was balanced so that it about shook the hitch off the tractor. There was a field where we probably ran 95% failure on knots - had son ride the bale chute and hand tie as we baled. As soon as that bale of twine was done it went to probably 95% success on tieing with the next bale of twine. (Both bales of twine were the same brand, bought from the same store, on the same day, off the same pallet - go figure!) Sometimes the failure rate would change within the same roll. Baled part of a field with a Farmall 200, machine bounded so much that it literally almost shook the 2pt hitch assembly off the tractor. Had to tighten up every bolt on the tractor hitch. Don't know about parts and maual availability, as I sent that baler packing!
