Neighbour has a 435 baler. It worked fine as far as I know. That said. The price they're asking is probably a grand too high in my opinion.
Personally I'd probably fix the Deere. The reason is this: you fix the Deere... you know what you have and what it cost you. If you buy the IH at the price listed you could just as easily end up dumping 2 grand more into it to make it a workable machine. I'd much sooner have that kind of coin into an otherwise good working Deere over an otherwise orphan IH. I'm not saying that there's anything intrinsically valuable about the Deere either beyond the fact that it's a decent size baler... but really... if you're going to get a reliable baler that's ready to work you're going to have 4-5 grand into it. This is the sad reality with hay making... it costs a LOT of money. The 5 grand quoted for repair also sounds high unless that includes a bunch of other work that probably should be done.
