I have an old New Holland 69 super hayliner small square baler, it was in the weeds behind the barn when I bought the place. I pulled it out last year cleaned it up a bit and tried it this past summer and after a couple of bales it would break the shear bolt every time I tried it then it broke a needle so I put it away, is it worth fixing? has anyone used one of these and compared it to a John Deere? would I be better off with a JD? I would do about 3-4,000 bales per year. If someone could give me any info on the NH baler and how to fix it I would appreciate it.

I actually own one of those. I have a Super 69 hayliner with a 56 bale thrower on it. Have run it for years with little work, good balers. But just like Jon said it is all in how you take care of them. mine has never been rained on, and has gotten maintained every winter. I now have another NH baler, a 320 because I am doing more hay now and needed more capasity, but the 69 still runs fine. If you can get yours back togeather it will do what you want.

Like others said, the first step is to get the owner's and parts manual from a NH dealer. Won't cost a lot.

Broken needles can often be welded or brazed. If you look around a little there are often veteran welders who have done this before. Should be cheaper than getting a new one. Properly done it likely will work fine.

That vintage NH should do what you want if it's not completely worn out to begin with. If there's a no-BS New Holland veteran around who can give you an opinion on it that might be useful. If you have to spend much more than $300 or $400 to get it usable for what you expect to get done you might be better off to trade it or sell it and get a healthier NH or Deere.

if this baler is pto driven, check the pto clutch at the front of the baler. i had a baler that always give me problems. i trade it to friend for a tedder. he disassemblied the pto clutch and found 3 of the 4 dog holes gone. he replaced with new clutch parts. i have been told this is common problem with certain NH balers. might worth a look.

Nothing wrong with the NH 69, other than it sat in the weeds and turned to sh*t! NO baler can be left out to rot, and then be expected to work fine. John

You can probably have the needle welded which will save a lot.
