Hey..
My son and I bale about 20,000 bales per year. We bought the 327 when it was about 5 years old and have never regretted it. By now it has probably made over 300,000 bales and is still our main line machine. Ours has the #30 thrower that fills the cage wagons. We can get much fuller wagons with that thrower than the belt thrower on the similar NH machine. Sometimes when I am going to the field, I'll pull 2 wagons (empty) in tandem behind the baler. Just for entertainment a few times I've pulled the double wagons onto the field and set the range on the thrower to throw the bales in the second wagon. I doubt it will throw that far now, but it is a darn good baler. We do all our own repair work, so it has not been back to the dealer in the 18 or more years we've owned it. I don't think there is any such thing as a "no maintanence" baler. But this one has been pretty good.
About 10 years ago we had the chance to buy its bigger brother 328 baler. It is basically the same, but a wider pickup and a bit more capacity and about 7 years newer. It has been good too, but the #40 thrower has given more trouble with its thinner but higher strength steel. Stress cracks develop and then the throw arms break at the top. But we have done a few hundred thousand bales with this one too, and it has never gone back to the JD shop.

As a novice though I didn't appreciate the fact that there were so many Fordson tractors made, that all the other makes seem rare by comparison. As far as I was aware a fordson was a fordson and it was only through trial an
