I currently own a 24T and plan on doubling my square operation this year. I am looking at buying a 336 and plan on keeping the 24T for back-up. What are the major advantagres of the 336 over the 24T, I hear the 336 is some faster. About how much percentage wise? What are some pitfalls of the 336 to look for and what are some common breakdowns of the 336. Many Thanks, Mike

I currently own a JD 336 baler with hydraulic bale thrower and back nearly 20 yrs ago had a 24t with #3 mechanical thrower. The 336 is heavyer weightwise , has a bit more capacity in heavy hay,(20%?). The 346/347 with the wider pickup would have even better capacity. The hyd. thrower works much better than the old #3 mechanical thrower. The knotters are very similar, and although I havent had any major problems with the 336, my neighbor who has a 336 broke the axle on the flywheel side ,and when they ordered replacement parts, the parts man said that side breaks more often, (but it is also the heavier side of the baler.)Not sure if I would call this a real common problem . All in all if you find a well maintained 336 or 337 I think you'll be very happy with it .

For anyone out there who is interested, here is the breakdown of the John Deere square balers from the 24T/224T thru the current models:

24T - 59" pickup, 4 tooth bars in pickup (48 teeth), 65 strokes per minute

224T - 59" pickup, 5 tooth bars in pickup (60 teeth), 65 strokes per minute

336 - 61" pickup, 4 tooth bars in pickup (80 teeth), 80 strokes per minute

346 - 71" pickup, 6 tooth bars in pickup (144 teeth), 80 strokes per minute

327 - 64" pickup, 4 tooth bars in pickup (88 teeth), 80 strokes per minute

337 - 74" pickup, 6 tooth bars in pickup (156 teeth), 80 stokes per minute

347 - 74" pickup, 6 tooth bars in pickup (156 teeth), 93 strokes per minute

328 - 74" pickup, 4 tooth bars in pickup (104 teeth), 80 strokes per minute

338 - 74" pickup, 6 tooth bars in pickup (156 teeth), 80 strokes per minute

348 - 74" pickup, 6 tooth bars in pickup (156 teeth), 93 strokes per minute

So if you need/want a wider pickup than you have in the 24T, you either have to go to a 346 or a newer one like a 337 or 328/338. If you don't need the wider pickup, the 336 is the next logical upgrade from a 24T.
