What years were these balers made?
I am thinking maybe after this year I may move to a thrower set up.

KellyI am sure you have come to the conclusion the 336 is a good baler just by driving around the neighborhood. I would guess 75% of central MN balers are 336. This is my observation from the highway and from auction sales.

JD got a bad reputation for breaking thrower pans with their first model, mechanically powered. The hydraulic powered, which should be on the 336, was much better, but still it's an issue to look for cracks on the pan mounting brackets. They can be welded. Tim's advice on locking out the trip is very important. Big advantage with the JD over a belt thrower is you can set it to not trip, and bale on the ground. Also you don't burn twine off the bale when the windrow is light or you're making an empty turn with a bale just entering the thrower.

The ejectors like to get cracks in them in various places due to the violent nature of their operation. Also keeps your baling speed down, because if the bales come out too fast, the pan doesn"t have time to return to home position before the end of a bale gets in the way. Then it doesn"t latch. Never do anything around or behind an ejector without locking the trip out. When set for full distance, if that pan were to hit you square in the chin, it could literally knock your head off. With any used Deere baler, always check the pin and bushing on the plunger pitman where it attaches to the plunger. The greasing of this fitting is often neglected and heavy wear in this area can result in disaster. Also check the flywheel for wobble. The nut under the hub cover needs to be tightened once in a while and this is another thing that is often neglected.

Hi Kelly,
I have a real good used 336T for sale. Bought it last spring and it had sat unused in an enclosed shed for 5 years. Previous owner had spent over $1000 rebuilding the knotters. I baled over 3000 and it did not miss a bale. Pulled an old Welco drag accumulator and it worked good. I put in a new plunger pin and bushing, a few teeth and other minor repairs. Good used machine located in Ks and is in an enclosed shed out of the snow right now. Asking $3000.00 for the baler.
Thank you.
Mike

Hi Kelly,

You got a whole lot of reasons not to :-) get a kick so I wont add to them. As far as a 336, somewhere early 70's to mid 80's. Only a few differences between them and the 338s, pick up color and using some different components on the tie arm drive mechanism are the only ones I can think of. Kicker aside, 336's are great balers.

I"d stay away from JD"s pan kickers..... ....In our hills we can bust them up quickly.

I"d find a NH with a later model thrower(Can"t recall the #), but it is the on with the crank for speed, not the one with two ropes. They are really nice. My neighbors have a 311 NH and that is a darn nice baler. Our 275 with that 70A thrower with the ropes wasn"t bad, but it was sort of a pain to manipulate those ropes to get a full load on the wagon.

Kelly here in eastern Kansas most everyone uses most everyone uses accumalators. With the loaders you have you could fix one of them to load in the field and buy you a 2 ton truck to haul bales on to the shed. Don,t remmeber if you have two loaders or just one but put a loader on that 460 and have one at home and one in the field. Pull baler with the 400 and load in the field, 460 to unload. This is the way the hay farmers do it in my part of the world.They also have a bale spear to load round and large squares. I have a neighbor that has a 460 that he uses both small squares and large rounds. He also uses an m for both jobs. Just some food for thought that might be helpful.

Most accumulators require a very consistent bale. Also, the price of accumulator and grapple system would add considerable input costs.

After growing up with kicker balers,I would never go back to one after I went to using bale basket wagons instead. Iloved them way easier to unload plus don't have headache of the thrower etc. Just my two cents; I now run accumulator system
