NH 269 Baler Problems

This baler is missing about 50% of the bales, almost always on the outside knotter. I find the string on the bale with a loop tied in the back end of the string. No loop in the front end although the string is often partly cut about an inch from the cut end. Also this baler does not pack the bales square with the bale often squirting out through the inside string. I adjusted the sweep arm in as far as I could, which helped, but not enough. Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. I don't know many of the part names so any description would help a lot. Thanks

Best advice is- get the operator's manual- it will describe knotter problems and solutions. NH makes an excellent baler- the book is just as good, and well worth the money- carry it in the baler tool box and look at the descriptions to match your problem. Follow their advice- your baler WILL work!

This sounds like that the plunger is not properly adjusted and the knives are not sharp and properly adjusted. Also check needle adjustment,twine finger adjustment,and make sure the hay dogs are working freely and the springs on them are good and strong also install some hay wedges in the front of the bale chamber. You do need a book to see how to make these adjustments and to understand the parts. The book does not answer all the questions and if we wrote a book on all the problems and how to fix them it would be a thick book,I have seen this problem many times and this usually fixes it. Hope this helps

I think a visit to a New Holland dealer & picking up a baler manual will do a world of good. They have some good troubleshooting in there that will help you a lot, & also parts identification.

My knotters on the 270 work good, so I'm not much good at describing how to adjust them - I think it's difficult to explain with words only - the manual will be much easier.

Also, I bale everything from corn stalks to thick wet alfalfa, thin dry alfalfa to short grass to long grass to straw. I've rarely had problems with mis-formed bales unless crop conditions are extreme dry or wet, and the only adjustment I do is bale tensioning. Again, while I can't guess what the problem is, you should be able to get rid of it.

The problem with trying to help someone with baler adjustment problems on a board like this is that, with balers there are just to many possible reasons for the problem. The best answer is to go to your dealer, or New Hollands website and get the owner manual. It has a very good diagnosis and adjusment section. Well worth the $20 bucks or so.

Great minds think alike? (Let's just go with that theory, don't listen to the others... ;) We posted at the same time.... ;)

I am new at this, so this is what I was told to look for. On my ford series 250 (knoters should be close to the same) there is a hook up underneath that grabs the loop after the knot is made. As the bale is push back the loop is held to pull the knot tight and then break the loop. The spring arm that works the hook is under the knoters and the grease fitting (also underneath) for it is easy to miss. If it hangs up and grabs the string, or knot itself, instead of the loop, you do exactly what your talking about. You basicly break / cut the string at the knot, thus leaving a knot on one end. I am not clear on the packing problem can you be a little more specific?
