I am looking for a little better baler than the NH 269 I have now. Coming up at auction is a JD 336 with 30 ejector in good condition and a NH 276 with thrower in excellent condition. Which is likely a better baler? New Hollands are more popular here, and my old 269 has honestly never missed a bale, but i am not a fan of the belt thrower. Which baler will bring more money at auction? I don"t bale a lot, maybe 3000 bales a year, but I work off the farm also and the 269 is just too slow. Thanks for any advice,
Josh

You will learn to hate that #30 ejector. Filter is in the tank, messy and a pain to change, so many never get changed. Pan will crack if it hasn"t already. Arms will most likely have been welded back together up at the pivot shaft. Wagon hitch most likely has been beefed up already, liked to break right at the back of the bracket that attached it to the bale case. Bales HAVE to be tight and consistant for the trip on the ejector to work right. If you get going too fast, the pan will not be able to reset itself fast enough and you will get bales jammed in the ejector. Look for cracks around the holes in the brackets where the thrower mounts to the bale case, and in the bale case itself in the same area.

Thanks for the heads up on the thrower. Are the newer ones better (#40?) Thanks.

i own a 336 myself and like it. i do about the same amount of small squares. once i figured out how to make the twine change it never misses. have never run a new holland but have heard good things also. i would think either one should suit you well.

I've owned both of these balers in the past. Without question I'd buy the Deere. People tend to rank both the New Holland and Deere balers high. In my opinion, the Deere is the better of the two because of the auger feeding system and a packer fork. The New Holland track and chain feeding system with the spring loaded arm, caused problems for me. The Deere system is much simpler and less likely to cause problems. I think, in most cases, the Deere makes a more solid bale too. You don't often get a "banana" bale with a Deere.

New Holland makes a good baler. So does Deere. Either brand is a safe bet.

All things being equal...the 336 Deere is one of the best, if not THE best baler ever. (That's not to say there wasn't 1 or 2 with troubles...And then who's ever seen a completely trouble free baler?????)

Without seeing them, I'd take the Deere 336

Gotta ask someone else about that'n....Throwers never caught on here. We had one neighbor that bought one back in the early '70's, but other than that, I've never seen one around these parts. I hear tell the Deere thrower had it's problems. If you ask me, ANY of 'em are a recipe for disaster. (I use a bale accumulator and grapple....Steffens)
