NH Super 66

I found with my old Super 78 Hayliner ($100.00 two years ago) that it won"t work with the thinner twine, but works great with the thick twine. I put just under a thousand bales in the barn this year with it, and figure I got my money out of it. And anything from here on out is just a blessing. When I last baled, I had only one bale out of 275 that didn"t knot. My baler was kept under cover (only a little rust) and was painted at least twice. So I figure that was an indication that the prior owner(s) cared for their equipment.

Last Monday at a farm auction near here an otherwise really nice new idea baler only brought $27.50, needed two new needles, both broke. The machine looked brand spanking new otherwise. I had no knowledge of how available the needles are so I stayed away from bidding. Another neighbor still uses a NH 66 and he paid $250 for his six yrs ago. He is hard on equipment and has had to weld and piece things together dozens of times. He even broke an axle off, now how he did that...????? ?
