no way. Gehl out of ag biz. Rumor is that they will cease parts sales in 2014/2015. You can by a darn good JD or Vermeer rounder for that money and still have companies that will sell you parts. My 605H Vermeer rolls them good, twine tie and it cost me $2500.

I would not worry to much about parts avalibiliy. Belts, bearing,pickupteeth, joints, are going to be easy to get from your Local dealer and parts store. That is a really good price and if you were to buy a green red or yellow one thats close to the same will be twice as much. A 605h is out of the 80's so there is no comparison and break something serious on a machine that old and it will be hard to get parts for.
