I am going to look at a 62 twine baler. What can you tell me to be on the lookout for, besides normal wear, care and maintenance factors?

Good baler or stay away?

Also going to look at a 74H mtd. picker. This is to use lightly, such as 10 acres in a year's time. Are these a good machine? What type of mounting brackets for a 770? Would a 770 have enough grunt to run it efficiently?
Thank you.

Oliver 62T is a nice baler. Chek inside bale chamber for worn slides and rails, as these area's are often overlooked for maintenance. Worn slides make for frustrating baling. Also look at knotters and needles. Be nice if ou could see old bales that were baled by baler last, pay more attention to quality of knot than anything.

62t balers were a good baler. Check for worn slides, rails, and knotters. 74H pickers were very good machines. A 770 should handle it okay unless you have some hilly ground then it could be a little underpowered, but will probably do okay. Look for worn snapping rolls. If they have been built up with a welder they will shell alot in the field. Also look at the husking bed and see if those rubber rolls are worn real smooth. If they are they probably won't do a real good job of taking off the husk.
