New holland 850

[Farmer2750]

I'm looking at a new holland 850 round baler at a very good price. What should I all look out for on it. I'm framilar with square balers and basic round balers but I have dealt with a new holland chain baler. I will be only putting up 20-30 bales a year so I don't need a fancy baler. I will also mainly be using it in ditches and a few fields.

Chains, bars and sprockets. You are looking at a 40 year old baler. Free could be overpriced.

Hydraulic cylinders. If they leak down, they may also not stay closed(bale pressure pushes open), very frustrating. Had that on an 851 NH. Other than that it was a good, my first, roller to cut my teeth on. My 851 had no monitor and an auto tie which was nice for me.
