Round Baler - Case IH 3450

Anyone know about this baler model? Is it a loose core design or variable chamber size?

I have a chance to buy one bought new in 1992 and was used until 1996 then has been stored inside. It only had about 100 bales a year put through it those 4 years.

The belts and everything look brand new. Not a scatch on it.

They are asking 6000$ Canadian (~4000 american)

If the baler looks like this

Then it is a soft core center.

Looks similar, didn't realize it was a rebadged unit.

Case-IH had a 50% share of Hesston which is owned by Agco so they had the same machines painted and decaled Case-IH, Hesston, New Idea, Massey Ferguson and now Challenger and there might be a few more that I have forgotten. So the bright side is that you can get parts from a lot of different places.
