I amy have a chance to get a good used 336 baler at a fair price here in a few days and am wondering what kind of baler they are. I currently have a John Deere 24t and it is awesome but is starting to miss more bales than I would like and everyone says that if you start messing with the knotters that you will never get them adjusted right again. Anyway, did Deere have any trouble with the 336's? What are there strong and weak points? Anything specific I should look for (its been 20 years since I bought a baler!)? Also, would the extra pickup teeth and other miscelaneous parts I have for the 24t fit the 336? Thank you!

JD 336 balers are good balers. The knotter system on 24T and 336 are very similiar using some identical parts. Nothing on pick-up will interchange as teeth are spaced closer together on 336 and strippers are narrower. 336 has rollers on plungerhead while 24T has wear blocks. 336 is easier to put in time than 24T IMHO.

The 336 was a major redesign with sealed bearings and belt drive pickup etc etc. J.D. balers are still being made in the same style as the 336 today.

I bought a nice 336 with tosser after my 24T just wouldn't tie bales anymore, I spent more time tinkering than baling. The 336 was excellent, the pick-up is awesome, baled well but will still miss some and you have to use a heavy diameter twine. The small diameter sisal twine or plastic twine wouldn't work at all. The tosser was great when you learn the proper tilt on corners. If you get the tosser on the baler build your own wagons, make them 9 to 10' wide, it really makes a difference. Good luck and buy a manual!

What size of twine do you use? I currently use 176 pound twine in 9600 foot rolls. Is that a good size for the 336 too? I drop my bales on the side as I have a NH bale wagon. Thanks!
