New Holland Stackliner Questions

Bill VA · Feb 19, 2015

From time to time I see for sale a pull behind New Holland
stackliner. Looks like a neat idea - do they do a good job
picking up hay and actually stacking it? Looks like a ton of
moving parts - are they a complicated implement to
adjust/repair? Any parts issues? Flat land only or can they be
used on hills? Any other good, bad and ugly with them -
specific model recommendations?

Just curious.

Thanks!

Have a 1010 NH, they do a good job picking up hay as long as you keep everything in good shape. The bales should be tight and square or it will grab the string when first picking it up. Like most things if to much wear it won't work good. Gentle rolling hills you are okay on but not more than that, not only will it not pick up the bales well or the bales slide on the second table but the wheel base is a little narrow on ours the 1010. It works good other wise. The bigger ones you could stack the bales better since it had cylinders to push the forks out from under the bales.

There are trons of stackwagons here.I started with a 1000(56 bales).Currently have a 1032 (70).and run the neighbors 1036 frequently.They do have a lot of adjustments.But once they are set,the rarely meed more.Definite MUST is a book.'Flat' to moderate hills are best.However I've had mine on a couple of hills that had some major 'pucker factor'.Try not to do those.....There will be a steep learning curve.Yes,you will probably dump a stack or two at first.You need firm uniform consistent bales.Soft,misshapen,inconsistent bales are a nightmare.We stack thousands of bales yearly here.

New holland stack liners have been made for 50+ years.A large number of those are still working.There really isn't much to go wrong.And some are beat to 'holy crap'(mine included) and still work perfectly.NH no longer makes a pull type stacker.The last model (1037) was discontinued last year.Parts are no issue.There are also a couple salvege yards that specialize in stackwagons.

i often wondered about those things myself.would be a good one man operation if it worked good.i would like to sell small squares to horse people in the winter for some extra cash.around here a guy could sell as many as you could i think.

I have always wanted on too. But i do not have a barn tall enough to unstack inside. but i have seen one that could unload one at a time from the side. that would work but would take just as long or longer stacking on a wagon i think.

Depends on how much help you have and how far away your fields are. Weve had a few different models over the years and don't have enough height in the barn either. Sometime we single bale unload right onto the elevator, sometime we drop the stack and put away one at a time and sometime we drop three or four loads together and out them away all at once. Just depends on how much help we have and the weather! Either way it saves me from having to touch every bale twice!

I have a NH 1010 like Tom does. Air the tires to 50#, keep chains snug, and it does a good job in steep hill patches. It had a 2" strip of 1/8" steel welded to make sideboards on the second table. You have to drive slower where its steep. It is also slower than a flatbed trailer with two kids picking up and stacking it, but I don't waste any time looking for help. ymmv
