Gosh, ballpark? Guessing $1500- we have a 270 and are working on, and it was also full of old ickies. Love the chicken. Also their operator manuals are sometimes online, but Messick's in Mount Joy, PA is also a GREAT source of parts on the older equipment.
I’m 73 yes old and have been using new holland equipment for last 50 yrs, in my opinion your not going to be disappointed even if you have spend a few bucks to get her in top shape, they are the best hay equip. For the dollar.
Appreciate your contribution to the farming community for 5 decades! We were hoping for exactly that, even if a few parts were needed that it would still be worth the investment. Thank you for reaching out!
Great find. I've been seeing cleaned up version of this baler for $5k or more. I've been out of farming since after college, but now I'm getting started again on my family farm in Shelby County. So many things to learn that I didn't pay as much attention as I should have when I was a kid.
We have a barn find 565 too- only with a 72 thrower, and perhaps slightly more used. Just as much chaff to blow off! We also pressure washed as the bottom layer of dirt was stuck on. Makes good bales and parts are easy. Enjoy!
Always find it funny all the nooks and crannies dust and dirt can get into. There's just no way to avoid pressure washing to see what you're really working with. Fingers crossed!
Thousands of bales went through ours. Greased before every use. Kept the knotter clean, and all the other moving parts clean. We had very few bad bales.
I know up here in Canada- if its makes a good bale- which I see no reason why it won't- that's a 10000$ baler- like others have said- grease it daily before use and keep the knotters clean
Ours was part of a package of gear, so no specific price. We thought $5000 with the thrower would have been fair. Probably more from a dealer in as nice a shape as yours.
We have seen balers in worse shape sitting on equipment lots for 10k or more. That's why we just couldn't pass on this one. Hopefully it pumps them out with no issues!

Ha, we never know where we're going to find a chicken. Thank you for the older equipment parts info! Definitely going to check them out.

That’s a good price. It’s a bulletproof machine and it seems well taken care of. You did good.
We're about ready to give it a test run soon!
Excited to see how it works!
Right there with you!
It looks really nice. I’d bring it to the field and try her out!!
Ha, we're tempted to! I think we're going to go through the manual though and make sure everything is in spec before we try making a square.
That’s an awesome find! Can’t wait to see it work pumping out those squares!
You and me both!

Awesome to hear you're getting back into farming! It's hard work but so rewarding. Appreciate your feedback!
Looking forward to seeing how it works.
We are too. Hoping there won't be any major issues!
New Holland is the only baler we used on the farm . As long as you keep it adjusted you will like it.
We keep hearing good things about New Holland. Excited to give it a try!
Those 565's were a beast they eat hay very well and are super consistent tying . You got yourself one hell of a find there buddy !
Awesome to hear. We're definitely excited to see how well it does out in the field. Appreciate the feedback!

Thank you for the information! We plan on doing the exact same!
I have the exact same baler! It will flat out make some good tight square bales! Think I paid around 5K for mine about 3 years ago.

Cool to hear from someone neighboring up north! We're about to give it a try before too long and see how well it does. Appreciate your feedback!

Worth 2 times that money.
Ha, sounds good to us. Appreciate the feedback!
Clean that machine up , grease it and use it. Should work fine.
We should be trying it out before too long!
You got a smoking deal, that’s a 8,000 dollar baler all day long.
Hopefully going to put it to the test soon!
