I have 3 balers one NH320 and two NH278's. They have the heavy duty drive lines and even at 20-27 years old they have the capacity of any new 14x18 baler on the market.

My last baler I bought the NH278 I paid $1250 Cdn 3 years ago, plus it came with a parts baler. It was the best buy I've got in a long while. The baler needed a little TLC here and there but over all it hadn't seen many bales over the years. It makes a nice bale and the knotters never miss.

Our orginal 278 that we got back in 1975 still works like a charm. I think its getting close to 800,000 bales.

I would think for 3000 you could get a pretty nice baler. Don't pay that kind of money for something too old and too small. If you take your time I find you can pick up these 20 year old small square balers cheap. Lots of older retired farmers have them in sheds collecting dust or outside collecting rust!

Any of the main 3 NH, JD or Hesston balers would work fine. Just depends on what ever dealer is local.
