If anyone knows anything about the operation of a sq baler the later model JD balers are a snap to time. As I stated only 2 chains to get out of time and I've never seen the bevel gears on later JD balers jump time. [Reply]  [No Email]

Those are all older balers and even though there are plenty around parts are going to be harder to find. I have used a 336JD, 310NH and would take the JD any day over the 310. It made a nicer bale in my mind that could stand up to a kicker. The 310 I worked behind on a bale wagon when I was younger. It had a kicker but couldn't get a good tight bale no matter what we did and the kicker a lot of times would loosen the bale up pretty good. If you wanted to look at more comparable NH balers look at the 311, 315, 316. Those are more the age of the 336 JD. I have a friend with a NH 316 and it has been a good baler for him.

Timing the JD was a night mare but the 271 a walk in the park [Reply]  [No Email]

Sorry any ,machine is just an improved machine from the past. So what is your point other then to maybe try to be well????????? [Reply]  [No Email]
