I have the opportunity to purchase a Massey Ferguson 124 Baler in real good condition and I was wondering how good these balers are. This one appears to be real tight and has a nice paint job. What should I look for and watch out for? What were the weak points of these balers? What years did they make this model? At the present I have a New Holand 276 that the dealer during the Winter Special Tune-up said that it would cost a bunch to repair it and? that I should come out and go through the inspection list with a salesman present. Now why would they want a salesman present to go over a inspection list. Anyway, I'm not one to do deals with dealers on used equipment with mine in their shop. I'll see what it needs and pull it home and figure the worth of it myself.
Does anyone know how the MF-124 compares to the NH-276? Thanks In Advance!

I have a 124 baler. It's main weakness seems to be the needles. They are cast iron , and break quite easily. I believe you can get cast steel replacements , although I have bought repaired needles before, some last some break right away.
Let me know any other feed back you have had Thank you Neville garner

Ernie, I have an MF224 that works like a champ. I think it's a first cousin to an MF124. Parts are expensive but that may be true of NH as well. I broke a bill hook last year, bought a used one from a 124. The Massey makes that cute little knot with the loop in it. 8>)

Here in East Tn. MF is a well known baler the 124 is a high speed baler and will bale with the NH 276 I own a NH 276 at this time .I trade on used equipment and am always in market for a Massey as here they sell as good as a Deere or NH.knotter parts are expensive on all balers,but you should get very good service from the 124
