I've got a NH 68 with a model 50 thrower. Is there any good way to take the last few bales out of the chamber and chute to store the machine? I've been cutting the twine and taking them out in pieces, but it seems there has got to be a better way...Anybody have any tricks?

Pull the trip, loosen the tension, kill the tractor, pull out remaining hay. Before you store it, check the knives, bearings, slides, dogs, etc. If any maintence needs to be done do it now! Not later. Next spring you will be "happy" you did.

I always trip the knotter,loosen the tension on the bale chamber, then pull out what bales I can with a hay hook, if I can't get everything out, I put a length of 4x4 in the chamber and turn flywheel by hand being careful that the knotters don't trip. That pushes everything back so I can get it out with the hay hook.

I would run three bales of dry straw through it. The dry straw will keep the moisture from rusting your chamber. If your chamber gets rusty it will cause problems with bale movement. I have been using this method on a John Deere 336 baler for 23years and it has never gone wrong.

if you store you baler inside just bale up some hay that is good and dry and then leave it in. That's what I used to do. Of course anytime that I baled hay that wouldn't keep I had to cut the twines and pull it out.

If you crank the handles for the tension all the way up so its loose, you should be able to pull the bale out with a bale hook. You should also trip the knotter so it ties and you dont pull the twine out.

Exactly right; done it many a time.

I have not found a better way yet. I sure hope someone has one.

Just run a couple of bales of dry straw through it every fall, the dry straw will suck any moisture out of the chute therefore your chamber will not rust, if you chamber gets real rusty it can cause problems with the bale movement. I have been doing this on a John Deere 336 baler for 23 years and it has never gone bad. Give it a try.
