I just purchased a new (USED) 310 baler last weekend. This thing is in really good shape. I need help on setting it up. I have ordered the manaul but of course it will not be here in time to bale hay this weekend. If anyone can't give me assistance I would be much obliged.

thanks in advance.

Did you ever find an Owners Manual for your New Holland model 310 baler ? If so, where did you find it ? I need one too now ! Please advise. Mike [email protected]

The final adjustments will have to be done in the field as you start to bale, but here's a couple of things I do every year.

If it's been setting I pour diesel on all the chains and knotters, and hunt up and grease all the grease fitting you can find.

Now trip the knotters and roll it thru a cycle by hand.

If all goes well take your tractor and idle the baler thru several cycles while you pour more fuel onto the chains and knotters.

Just be sure you don't oil or grease the knotter disc brake. Let the fuel soak in til ready to bale. Now just before you sart to bale take a water hose and wash all the extra fuel off.

I would'nt touch any adjustment except to loosen the bale tensioners off as I bale the 1st 5 bales or so. That gets the rust and burrs off of the bill hooks and twine holders.

Then tighten the tensioners down as needed and enjoy your baling.

I highly recommend running the baler through a knot cycle or 2 by hand to make SURE the timing is right. If for some reason it is off, it costs $150 or so to fix it up again.... (Look up 'baler timing' in the archives here for more info on this.)

I'd grease all the zerks. I haven't ever messed with the diesel flush, I guess however you feel. But clean & grease would be real good.

If the timing is right & everything else is in good shape, the only real adjustment is the bale tension which you need to adjust as you bale.

That's right on the adjustments. Most neighbors here that I have ever helped with a "bad" baler had adjusted the machine before they ever tried to use it.
