We bought this nice round baler, and was wondering if there is any thing..thats not good about these..it looks like it was taken care of
and the reason why we went to round bales is because we can't find anyone to help with the square bales. Any Thing at all bad about these..or are they a good baler.

I was told they like to catch fire! Other balers will burn if you run a bearing out but was told they are prone to burning.

Any roller with a bad bearing can catch fire. The IH in most cases will not roll hay if a bearing is bad. I have seen 2 or 3 that have burned, but they are no more likely than any other. I have 2 IH rollers a 2400 and 241 and have never had a fire on either.

They are a decent old baler. They do not roll as tight a roll as more modern rollers do, but that ain't all bad. It is less likely to mold. When starting a bale start on the edge of the pickup and immediately move to the other edge or you will have trouble starting a bale. Constantly move back and forth across the windrow feeding the edges of baler. The middle will take care of itself. Parts are still available at IH. Take very good care of that big belt in the bottom, they cost nearly 600 bucks for a new one. We have one that dad bought new in 1981 and it is still going with thousands of rolls to its credit. If you need to know something post here or on the farmall forum and me or someone can help. I have lots of experience with these.

I have a 241 the model older than the 2400. It is very important to start feeding the hay in on one side and very quickly move to the other side to feed the full width fast. This way the bale will start the easiest. If the belts don"t start turning open the tailgate some. I have to play with the tailgate on mine opening and closing a few times. Once the bale starts tuning you got it made just weave back and forth on the windrow filling the edges. The middle fills by itself just fine. See my first bale...
