Don't know squat about the Deere balers, but my general philosophy is that you're better with the devil you know...... Given that parts are still readily available, and reasonable in cost, I would fix the baler. I've got an old orphan Ford baler, that works pretty good given it's well past it's prime. The biggest problem is getting some parts. But, I'm happy to keep it going for all I do with it, and so far, it hasn't needed anything major.....knock on wood.....
You know what you have, and you have an idea on what it will cost to fix. Then it will be fixed. Just make sure it won't need a pile of other things after this is fixed. That's where I'd draw the line on fixing. If you can actually find a good used baler in the thousand dollar range, and yours needs a lot more work, then it's worth a look. The only problem is that the thousand dollar baler may need everything yours needs..... and then some. Best of luck.
