That price may not be too far out of line depending on what was quoted. I mean... if you show them an old baler of somewhat unknown origin or condition then they'll probably want to figure on a bunch of new knotter parts like billhooks and strippers, new plunger bearings, knives, possibly needles if they're badly worn... pickup fingers, mabey some strippers, bearings, cam followers, probably all new chains and belts, slip clutch discs if so equipped... you get the picture. You wanted it 'field ready' so you don't have to screw with it. They probably figured 2 days labor. At ~100 bucks an hour today in a lot of dealer shops... that's probably not too far out of line really.

On the other side of the coin, price out a new baler today of similar capacity. Compare that with what is basically a fully reconditioned baler... 3 grand VS 20 grand? If you intend to keep the baler then that's really the only relevant question, not what you can get for it on the open market.
