Anyone out there ever own one of these? I've read on forums that parts would be a problem. Just thought it might look cool to bale with a Case tractor and baler. I am only talking about 5 acres. What do ya think??? thanks, gobble

I have a case 230 baler plus a 220 parts baler. When I bought it last year it tied real good,but this year the left side makes a good knot but will break the twine about an inch from the knot after making 3 or 4 good ties but the right side will break the twine every time,and knot hangs on knotter hook. I've adjusted like the operators manual say's to with no luck. does anyone know much about these knotters?

Is this is a baler with the knotter on the side instead of the top of the bale chamber? If it is, I've heard that if your hay is a little wet, the extra bale weight causes the bale chamber to sag. The movement of the bale chamber in turn causes tying problems.

133was baler with horse head an knotters on side. It would start to miss when wooden plunger blocks became worn an would let plunger push needles down an away from knotters. Onlyever broke 1 set of needles but welded them. Baler made really square bales.

Needles are about $200.00 a piece.

 Broken needles in reply to tomturkey, 04-09-2008 06:15:07  
Whenever the needles are in the bailing chamber on a Case bailer, a safety latch enters the chamber at the same time. If something goes wrong, the plunger will hit the safety latch and break a sheer pin. That protects the needles. The reason for broken needles on a Case bailer is the plunger safety latch is out of adjustment or the safety latch is not being maintained.

I started running one with a launcher on it for my grandfather about 1969.Baled about 5-6000 bales a year.Bales had to be short for the launcher. Windrows had to be small for the pickup and the feeder or they would plug. Seems like the plunger lock would set up and thats why you see them with broken needles. All I know for sure is that when I was done baling there I would go home and make real bales with my dad and our 68 NH baler.

Never owned one...however I have seen a number around....all the ones I've seen have broken needles on them...so you might want to ask about that issue. With the number I've seen at farms I don't think there would be a huge issue with parts.
