In Reply to: NH Baler Update posted by Bryce Frazier on May 03, 2014 at 19:27:16:
Neighbor baled about 5,000 bales a year with a 66 summers of 2010, 11, and 12. He had the patience of a saint! He is quite mechanically inclined and yet he still had to get off the tractor about every 5-8 bales to adjust or hand tie a bale that the knotters missed. I road the wagon helping him stack one day, and in 8 hours we had 150 bales made. After all that, the market for squares was poor here, the bales small-about 25 pounds, and he had to work hard to get $1 per bale. He went to a large round baler last year, made almost 200 bales, and sold them for $60 each faster than he could bale them. He told me he made more money in 1 day with the big baler than he did in 5 months with the square baler. That said, like was mentioned, a 273 is a much better machine. Bales are good and solid and it is very reliable. A different neighbor has one and when his kids came home to help bale hay, he'd bale 2,000 on a weekend easy. He'd even borrow two wagons from me to use along with his two, because the guys unloading in the shed couldn't keep up with the two guys baling in the field. If you are doing this strictly for fun and have a lot of patience, that's great to see an old machine like a 66/68 being tinkered with. If you plan to make a crop with it, it look for a 273 or something in that vintage to lessen your frustrations when you want to get something done.
