We've had a NH 310 and a NH 270 for a few years now and they've both been good machines. We bought the 310 used back in the early 80's and it's baled alot of hay, we just bought the 270 about five years ago and it probably hasn't baled over about 75,000 bales since it was new. The 310 is probably a better baler than the 270 because it's built alot heavier and it has more capacity but we've been baling 5,000-6,000 bales a year through the 270 and the only time it will miss a bale is when changine bales of twine. When we bought the 310 we had a good NH dealer four miles away, then it closed and we had to drive 30 miles, now that one is no longer a NH dealer so our closest dealer is over 50 miles away so now we are changing baler brands. We just bought a 10 year old Hesston 4590 baler and from what I've heard from everybody who has a Hesston inline I don't think we will be disapointed in it. If we still had a local NH dealer we would have looked harder at a 570 or 575 but I couldn't find one for close to the same price as we will have in this 4590.

I think the guys are right. Fix the one you got. A few hundred dollars and some sweat is lots cheaper than buying new, and used is still gonna need work. I love my old 68. Just the right size for me doing 12-1500 squares a year. I round bale the rest. But the old 68 needs all new chains. They stretch and throw the timing off. Get the owners manual and after you replace any worn parts set it back to specs. A sharp knife and new knotter balls always helps too.

Tim,

Hugh made a good point. Sometimes you are better off fixing what you have. Most parts for the NH balers are still available and for the most part, are priced reasonably.

We have a 270 that we saved from the torch. Spent some time and a few $$$ on the parts, but now have a reliable machine with very little invested. It works great for our small operation.

Good luck,
Scott

What do you know about running plastic through a mid 80's 311? Do I really have to change the knotters?

My dad has a 316 we figure has probably seen well over half a million bales since it was new in 84'. Only complaint I have is the tine bar that feeds hay into the chamber was known to "explode" like a roman candle from time to time, we had a 75 thrower on it. The main gearbox let go this past summer....Jim

Tim: There was no best New Holland baler, they were all excellent. The only problems I know of were the guys using them. The problem you've described is pure operator neglect, thus it will not matter what you buy. In fact you may as well keep the broken one.

I guess that I will have to vote for the 282 and now the 570-can't nothing touch them,hands down. Afew people around have a JD and when it breaks down they always come to me and want to borrow the 570 and they tell me that it is the best baler that they have ever operated. HTH

We always had a good run with the 276 Hayliner, very few problems. Of course this was a new baler put in to use after 6 of my formiable years dealing with a worn out 24T. I'm told many opinions on life are formed during those years.
Never had the chance to operate the year old JD 336 bought at auction a couple years before it was resold at auction.
