New 930 after a short workout

Doc Larry · Jul 20, 2012

Bought this "new" 930 at a nearby auction in November, and found and installed a PTO over the winter. Tried it out today with the little square baler, and she did just fine.

The sad part is, we only got 41 small (65 pound) bales off 13 acres of dryland, most of which we didn't even bother to cut. No rain = no hay.

Nice looking tractor and baler, but the 930 is WAY over kill for power needed on that baler!

Doc Larry what part of the country are you located, as dry as it is, sounds like it might be northwest Kansas.

West of Billings, Montana. Driest Jan 1 - July 1 on record for Billings so far this year. Bad all over, I think Case Nutty is in about the same situation.

Too big and too awkward as well, but I just wanted to check out the PTO operation with a load on it. I normally use my 401 on this baler.

we look about the same alright I have to get up in your area and pick up my 660 edible bean machine by Pompay Piller not sure if I spelled that right nice pic and a fine looking 930 in 73-76 we sold a lot of 283/320 NH balers good units cnt

John - Those are 23.1-26.

BTW, this is the tractor you sold me some power steering seals and gaskets for. When I bought it, the reservoir would leak empty in about 2 days parked in my shop and the engine and underside of the hood were covered with ATF. The reservoir lid was bent, so I straightened that and replaced the gasket, but it was still leaking around the base so I replaced all those o-rings. That took care of the pump area, but it still dripped from the cylinder. Replace all the seals in that, but still leaking, this time, the flared pipe on the end of the pressure hose was work hardened and wouldn't seal. Replaced the hose, but STILL leaking. Finally realized the flat surface on the cylinder valve body was damaged (that the fittings screwed into and sealed with a copper washer) so took the valve body and fittings down to the machine shop. They machined the mating surface flat, turned down the ends of the fittings a bit so they wouldn't hit the valve spool, and finally, that job was done.

Old Iron - Whereabouts are you? I used to pheasant hunt out there quite a bit, mostly up around Atwood and down to Hoxie. There were a lot of birds back in the mid-1970s.

I know how you are feeling about the hay. I live SE of Hays KS about 30 mins. We have has 1.5 inches of rain total since Easter. Our last alfalfa cutting, we got 4-1,500 lb round bales off of 50 acres. And about having to much power, we run our NH 325 square baler with a 4240JD which is about 115hp. You don't have to much lol.
