Convince Me Not To Buy a 565 New Holland Baler

I know someone who wants to sell me their 565 New Holland, that I'm hoping to do some custom baling with this year should everything happen to work out.

Can anyone school me on this baler? It'll be my first, although I've worked around similar models before. What should I look at when I go see it? They told me they'd disassemble a round bale and feed it through to prove the machine functions.

Any idea what it might be worth? I think its cheap for this area based on ones I've seen on craigslist (its $4000) but its been barn kept and (so they say) well taken care of. Its a twine tie machine.

What should I know about it?

On a side note - anyone know what size rims this machine uses? I want to order a spare for each side, because they'll be good to have for the (2 hour drive) trip home behind my truck, and I'll also want them stashed somewhere as I plan to take this machine on the road quite a bit if I buy it...

Thank you everyone!
 
I have one and it's a heck of a baler. Had trouble with it tieing a few years back and I figured the knotters were shot. Replaced the knotter assembly and put in new rollers on the plunger and worked as good as new. Not sure on tire size but I can look for ya tomorrow. The price sounds good if it's not shot.
 

Several yrs back I had 2 different neighbors sq bale for me with NH 565 balers & both balers made banana shaped bales. I asked both people about the shape of the bales and they stated they had tried to adjust balers for square bales but couldn't make it happen. Both neighbors sold the NH 565 balers.
 
I have a 570, which is has the packer fork which seems to help the bale shape. It does good. A neighbor has a 565 and has good luck with it. I think $4000 is reasonable if it is in good shape.
