    Posted: 04 Feb 2025 at 7:47pm
I found a slightly better candidate for fixing up than the $50 Roto-baler I bought last year. This one is a 1960 white top with overdrive.

The roof is slightly bowed in from someone probably storing something on top of it, and the safety shields over the intake are missing. Otherwise it seems to be in good shape and has spent most of its life inside. I am going to have to break down and get belts for it - they didn't look bad from the ad, but the lowers are delaminating.

I must be nuts to put $800 worth of belts onto a baler so I can bale and hopefully sell $100 of straw this year?

You'd only be crazy if you try to transition it into something else, other than what it IS...Wink

They actually made fewer white tops with overdrive than number 10's. I have some barely used spliced bales if you need some

That is an interesting point - supposedly 750 white tops with overdrive, vs. 1500 #10s? Of course, an unconverted #10 would still be much rarer. I'll send over a PM about belts.
