This is probably a stupid question but is there
any easy way to remove the last bale from a baler. I have a NH 269 baler with a thrower on it and it
is a pain to get the last bale out. I have always
heard that is it better to remove the bale before
storing the baler and when I bought this baler
there was nothing in it so I know it can be done. There just doesn't seem to be any convienent way
of reaching in past the thrower and getting the
bale out.

What is the reason for taking the last bale out. I thought that if you just left it in and kept the baler covered for the off season, that next time you used it it would be ready to go and you wouldn't have to mess with the getting started process. I know that your are losing a bale of hay this way.

I've always just made sure I had dry stuff in it, & I store mine inside a shed. Maybe rebale a dry straw bale or so if the last stuff I baled was damp.

Down here in the south it is apparently a different story. I guess it is condensation with the metal in the bale chamber but I have seen the outside of a bale of alfalfa turn black and start to rot in a couple of weeks down here where the humidity and the temperature both are in the 90's. Now straw is a different story but I can yank out the last bale easier than going and finding a bale of straw to push out the last bale of hay.

I used to yank the last bale out but, I have been using a bale of straw the last couple seasons...When my baler was empty, it took 4 or 5 bales to get on track.... We don`t have the humidity here in Colorado so the straw works fine....

After every baling I trip the knotter and then loosen the bale tension all the way and tie an old twine to the two strings on the end of the last bale and usually tie that string to a fairly solid object and move the tractor straight ahead 5-6 feet and it just pulls the bale right out. Should work with a thrower but you may need to double up the twine. If it busts the twine on the bale then you can just go ahead and dig it out. Normally it just causes the bale to flatten out and that just makes it even easier for it to come out

At the end of the season, when I store my baler, I trip the knotter, bale one more bale or part bale----just enough so that I can pull the good hay out intact---and then I loosen up the bale tensioner all the way and then I cut the strings and use a hay hook to pull out the peices. Of course, I don't have a kicker, but the system should still be possible with one on the baler.
