Wow, those balers!
My reaction to sale price report from a farm auction in central New York Saturday (May 4, 2019) that featured a pair of super sharp slightly older used New Holland small square balers. The New Holland 565 baler pictured below sold for $10,500.
$10,500 is the highest auction sale price I've seen on a New Holland 565 baler in just over 18 years!

Same trend here folks I've been talking/blogging about for some time, premiums paid for the nicest condition used items as they become available, tractors, balers, etc. $6,000 and $10,500 not so high compared to some late model used small square hay balers we see for sale today in the low $30K range.
