NH 271 questions

I picked up a 271 NH baler (P.T.O.) a couple of weeks ago, the price was right and I thought it would make a good parts machine for the 271 we use now. The only thing obviously wrong with it is that the needles were broken off. When I hooked it up to the tractor aside from some of the pick-up springs being bent it seemed to work well, but I have to get the book out to check all the timing marks. I never see the 271 NH mentioned in the Forum, does this baler have a bad reputation? Are needles hard to find?

Our 271 has worked great for the last 5 years with normal maintenance (2000+ bales per year).

Any info/opinions appreciated

most of the new holland balers (14X18) use the same needles. also the same knotters for that matter, except the 320 and up heavy duty knotters. if the needles are broken there can be many causes though. usually the timing. but also the knotter drive chain tension, broken knotter shearbolt, faulty brake disc, or broken needle latch spring. (safety latch) to name a few.

I believe the 271 is the exact same as the 270 - just an extra section/ support/knuckle in the pto driveline.

You'll find lots of good comments about 270's here - I really like mine. :)

Needles can be had at NH, or if you have all parts of yours a welding shop can weld them up. The place we went had jigs all set up to clamp them, I guess we farmers miss the timing often enough. :) You can weld yourself of course, but it does take some care in heating & cooling to not warp or twist...
