Looking at JD 224T Square Baler

TXZane · Sep 29, 2015

I'm going to look at a JD 224t square baler today. It looks to be a good baler. What are some things that I need to check? I won't be able to see it running so I am kinda nervous. I'm most worried about the knotters, how can I check to see if they are worn out?

Generally a good baler. TX Jim or somebody else will have to advise on knotter details.

224 were good balers except the pickup attach is narrow & the teeth are wider apart than later model JD balers. Look closely at bale chamber for rusted out places. Check plunger head for looseness in chamber indicating worn brgs. Also check for wear in sheet metal under end of auger where metal meets bale case My knowledge of twine balers is limited as few were sold in my area. Wear on knotters is difficult to determine just by sight.
