Good baler. I've got a 44S rather than a 62 but the idea is the same. Look the rollers over for dents/damage as that will eventually lead to their failure. Rocks will do that... Also check that the hydraulics are reasonably tight as it needs to hold pressure to make a tight bale. Check the chains and sprockets and evidence that the oiler is working... New chain will set you back a pile of money. This thing doesn't like offshore chain. New chain is so sketchy today that I'd suggest going to Claas for the chain if you needed it.... It's got to be heavy side plate chain of the best quality. 'Drives' is the only thing I can find locally through Deere that is any good anymore.... That about sums up the things to watch. Electric tie can be funny sometimes. Make sure the timer controller works right. Mine is busted and I'm scared to price one so I direct wired it. Otherwise it needs a good knife sharpening every year but that's about it.
I've changed several rollers on this one, a few sets of chain and some pickup parts on this one but it's seen somewhere north of 30K bales now and a lot of rock and sticks. Got used hard. If it hadn't been used so hard I doubt there would have been many repairs at all... If I was buying another today it would be Claas, without any doubt.

Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
