In our local classifieds is a ad for a New Holland 272 baler. I tried searching around on both ebay and google and only got the suggestion that it might be engine-driven.

What can you guys tell me about them? Were they good, bad or indifferent? What years were they made? If they were indeed powered by an engine, could it be converted to a PTO?

Thanks!

The 272 was built from 1964-1968. Same as the 268 and 269 but engine driven. I haven"t had any contact with a engine driven NH baler but, I"m sure it wouldn"t be too hard to make it into a pto driven baler. You would need access to a parts baler which could cost as much as some balers in running condition. A dealer may want far too much for the pto drive shaft and it may be easier to find another good baler setup the way you want. In this area, balers of this type or model could run from $150 to $800. I just bought a 269 with kicker for $200. Hope this helps -Good luck.

Thanks. We have a 532 Ford parts machine we could steal the flywheel off of if we need to.

I have one. Powered by the venerable and still produced Wisconsin VH4D. Bullet proof motor. You want the electric start version. You can sell a working motor for more than an old NH baler is worth.. There are ups and downs to a self-powered baler. The two big advantages are SUPER-tight turning without a PTO flying up and hitting you in the head, the other is you can pull it with anything, even a pickup. The disadvantages are yet another motor to maintain and less control over the baler (you have to reach back and pull a cable to start and stop). My baler has seen a long hard life and the motor still has plenty of power to break shear bolts if I feed it too heavy. I make bricks for bales. When I hear the motor working I know my bale tension is way too tight. You can convert to pto (god forbid) with just a slip clutch and pto shft. Flywheel is already there. Also, with the exposed belts and flywheel, users need to be a bit more conscious of safety and loose clothing when starting the motor. I can start mine by hand turning. These motors love to run. Good luck. And don't underestimate the fun of making hair-pin turns without a vibrating pto...
