They're a good baler for their day which was a while ago... We've put over 30K bales through our 44S. It's needed a few rollers replaced and several bearings; mostly on the pickup... normal pickup parts as well. The rollers were due to rock damage on this one. Hydraulics do get tired after a while too so make sure the gate doesn't drift down. You need to remember that this is a soft core baler and it needs to maintain pressure on the gate to properly form the bale... and if it gets slack it will make particularly soft bales. Beyond that it's been a very good, reasonably trouble free baler for us considering the abuse it's taken. It's also got a lot of capacity for something of it's vintage. I've put fairly regular 50 bph through it when everything is working right.
I would expect that if you've got electric problems with this one it will be expensive to fix. The twine timer on mine is bad and I simply wired around it to run it manually because I'm scared to ask what a new one is worth...
