I want to get me an older baler with a kicker. The tractor that I got is a MM UB so have about 50 hp. All flat land with one good size hill. Thinking like a JD 24t with kicker but wondering if you guys had any input as I don"t know much about the older balers. I know New Holland made good ones just don"t much about what models would be good. Thanks

I guess others must have had good luck with John Deere balers but I'd be careful of them. In my experience the knotters on JD balers aren't as dependable as on Hew Holland, or almost any other brand of baler.

An Oliver 710 would be a great fit with your tractor. If u have the power it will pump anysize windrow through. Only problem will be that you"ll have to find a belt drive thrower for it.

Hard to go wrong with that JD baler. Find a 224T if you can, supposedly a little heavier duty and the grease pump that lubes all the bale chute components is nice (iffin it works). I have two 224T JD balers and have no cause to complain. What few breakdowns I have had I was quickly able to fix in the field....covered in sweat, stinging with chaff, and frying in the sun....so it must be easy to figure out!

A New Holland 268 would also work well and should be affordable. Most people around here that have the thrower on those series NH balers leave the distance adjustment in one spot, because the rope-spring-latch mechanism becomes troublesome with age.

24T is a very good baler, simple, runs real easy. If you what a kicker get one with a hydrolic model 30 kicker. I started out with a used 24T w/2 kicker 20 yrs ago when I was still a pup, had to keep a close eye on the old gear driven kicker.
