Good / bad points of a 14T baler?

Alan K · Oct 12, 2015

Have a chance to get a 14T baler and am wondering if there are any bad points about them? I have heard they are a slower baler but I only bale a little in a waterway occasionally. Are most parts the same on the 24T or after? Do they bale a decent bale?

14T were decent balers in their day but they are similar to me getting OLD. Check bale chamber for rusted out places. Newer hay balers have a lot more baling capacity than a 14T

TX JIM is right. They are old.
Plunger ran on slides and guides.
Piston rod was on bushing.
Bevel gears would wear out affecting
ability to time knotters.
They baled good bales when in good shape.
