Shep, why don't you take a loss on it and get rid of it? Wouldn't you rather see someone get it and use it for its intended purpose? Sure you aren't going to get rich off of it, but imagine the satisfaction you will get when the owner comes up to you and tells you that it is one heck of a machine and that he couldn't live without it. I know the previous owner of our NH 269 baler gets a kick out of it when we tell him he sold us the best, cheapest, baler we ever found. Sure he didn't get rich off that baler, but we didn't have the money to pay him either. But that baler sets in the shed all the time, in the winter it is oiled up and covered, sure he coulda chopped it up for a log splitter, but no he realized some poor part time farmer needed it and would love to have it. We just bought a 715 with both heads for $2000, it costs $500 to truck it home, the owners bought a newer Massey, they told us they gave it away, but they decided the shed area was worth more to them then having the machine sit around and rot.
