Case Round baler is I believe the same as a NH. What model is it?

if it is, at 30k bales it will need ongoing maintenance during the season to keep it going.

Not really, ran a new holland to 60k and still had life left in it, similar balers, below than half its new price would be reasonable ask.

Ah a very early rotor feed one then I assume equivalent to the BR740/750 At a guess?

there was several updates done to 2004 models to overcome some teething problems but 17 years down the line they prob long since been sorted anyway.

Would it not depend on what the 30k bales were?

Depends who was driving it/maintaining it

Were chains oiled, kept at correct tension. Bearings, pto shafts greased. Belts put in knots baling 8ft rows?

In the right going they went pretty well, they don’t like wheat straw out of rotary Lexions though.

Ah well forget everything I posted above then, my experience is strictly limited to the variable belt versions.

Even worse!

I once bought a low bale count welger rp220 off a contractor and it nearly broke me!

Liked to break the sprockets and ends off of rollers which was a expensive habit.

Never seen one of those going yet without a dealer service van parked in the field on a permanent basis.
