Thanks. Its a 2001 model, was traded in on a 569 model at the dealership I bought the 5093e from. Bought it for $5950 and had them run it through the shop. They replaced chains and sprockets that were wore or getting slack (including the big chain), checked and replaced bearings as needed. I told them to replace what was needed, I didn't want to bring it back to the shop. The baler has 30k bales through it, but came from a custom guy who took really good care of it. No dents, paint is good as you can see, a few minor weld spots down around the pickup area but all in all I'm pretty satisfied. There is even a moisture tester on the baler with a hand unit.
Repairs came to $2200, so I've got $8200 into the baler. I do only 100 bales or so a year, so it should last me as long as I want to bale.
