Anyone have any experience with the 605J? I am looking into buying one at a price too good to pass up.

Coming from a 1972 605C, I'm not too familiar with fancy electronic balers like this.

Did all of the newer balers have a half-twist in the belts like this one has? Reasoning for this?

What kind of hp is needed for these newer balers? I pull the 605C with a 57hp Belarus.

Were there any sensors or rollers, pickup, etc. that were a problem on them?

What kind of plug from the tractor is needed for the electronics (2-prong, etc.) ? I don't have any accessory power sources hooked up on my tractors, but it wouldn't be hard to hook up if I know what is needed. What size fuse is needed?

If you look at the photo, you'll notice that there is a blackened area on the bars at the front of the baler. Is there a hydraulic hose located in that area that would cause this?

I will have to travel a couple hundred miles one way to pick this up, so I was hoping to learn what to look for before I go for it. I haven't contacted the owner yet, only the brother-in-law who listed the baler online. It's being sold because the owner got out of cattle.
