NH supper 66

I purchased my 66 three years ago, bailed with it then, but it was not tying a high rate (20%) I put in new bale hooks, checked the timing, and converted to plastic this year. My baler after initial adjustment in the field is now bailing without a miss, at least less than 1% of them. I have noticed that the baler seems to work better if I can keep my supply of windrow constant and at the speed the bailer can take it. I was worried that I was pushing the machine. I had tried to bale while not running at full RPM, but this year am running close to PTO speed. Any comments from the more experianced balers out there?

Thanks, Ted

I've been running an old Super 68 for the third summer now.

It works better with plastic twine and light to medium windrows. Heavy windrows seem to bog down the machine and cause the clutch to slip when a giant plug gets pushed into the bale chamber. Sharp knives and new bill hooks in the knotter work wonders also.

They are designed for operation at 540, BUT! I have found that sometimes a slower PTO rpm and a fast feed rate give better resaults. I ran our NH Super 269 at 540 on our old 560 Farmall in alfalfa last summer..... .....Didn't do bad but didn't seem to make the bales like I wanted..... .I ran it then in straw later on in the summer and found that if I drop the PTO rpm some and gear it up the baler made denser bales..... ..... Maybe this is because the knives need shapened in it, maybe not..... ...I am going to try it on the M-TA and see what happens..... .

Ted, most pto driven equipment is designed to run at pto speed (540 or 1000). You should never run below rated speed as it is a breakdown waiting to happen. If anything, a little faster is better than slower. Balers do work better with a good steady feed.

I used a 66 for years, now I use a old 68,,,I baled with a Farmall H running almost wide open,,never a problem, I used twine and you are right about keeping the hay coming in constant,,,I break bales in light hay but never in the heavy stuff,,,Jim
