Man! I wish that was mine but then I'd have to plant something to bale.

The neighbour bought a much cleaner 224 with her farm... ran it up onto some rocks and wrote it off. Insurance money bought her a rough NH.

Ken: that's a nice 124. Mine is a lot more worn looking.
124s are good balers, fairly easy to work on, except for the bale chamber knives which are a challenge to service/replace (access is very tight).

I paid $2K for mine and it's not as showy as the one you're selling. But everything works OK (so far). Here's what my 124 looks like:



Last May a 124 in the same shape as yours sold on eBay for $3400 out of Upland, Indiana.
Last March a 124 that looks much like mine sold on eBay for $2000 (Jeffersonville, KY--Is that you?) and that month another one in the same condition went went for $2300 (Russell Springs, KY).

Don't have any recent cost data for 124s in my neighborhood.

Hope this helps.
Good luck.

That is a nice baler. I know Jeffersonville, In but not Jeffersonville, Ky? No, that is not us. Did you put the bale flipper on after you got it? Why would you ever need those lights Ken Sweet

The lights and flipper came with the baler. The previous owner also installed a single action hydraulic ram on the pickup so he could make adjustments from the tractor seat.
