Hay Terrence, What a great baler. I suggest that you make the effort to set the timeing to book settings. It is most important as it is all running very fast and if things hit it is generally a sad outcome. It may run free at idle but at opperating speed with hay chain slack etc can move the timing out more. Sharpen your hay knives and set to book settings and sharpen knotter knives and set bill hook rub to book settings.check the hay feeder chain and tension, you don't want this coming off or entering the chamber out of time. Needle entrie is also very important and worth checking. The book is your best friend. A baler even quite worn and old, set correctly can preform without problems very well. Hope all goes well. Dave.
Hey David, Thanks for that! I did end up checking most of what you mentioned. I spoke to a couple of people who are very familiar with super 69 and we agreed the feeder tynes may have been set advanced deliberately, and ended up running as is. SPOILER: it actually ran pretty well with a few hiccups, although I still might retime the feeder chain for next year. I appreciate your knowledge and will keep you in mind when I go through it all again! Thanks, Terence 👍🏻
1st off...a maintenance book for your baler is essential! Find out where the shear pin is and make sure you have extras on hand. I grew up using a NH baler on our farm. A few problems here and there but our baler worked very well. Good luck, be well.
Thanks Stephen, I did end up grabbing a manual for it and it was very handy! I learnt a lot about the baler from it. And yes I found extra shear pins although I was really impressed that I didn’t need any this year! Thanks mate 👍🏻
@@RustedIronRanch Not a person that knows a lot...just enough to get myself in trouble once in awhile. My baling was in the early and mid 60's and as i well as I can remember, knotters were always most of the trouble. Anyway, I wish you the best with your baler. To you and yours, take care and be well!
Just my personal opinion as a agricultural engineer here in the uk, but the less you wash it, the better. By all means blow it off with air, but dry storing it, then washing it pretty much defeats the purpose of dry storing it in the first place. Other than that, it’s nice to see the old stuff being used still!!
Hi Joe, you’re spot on! I ended up just blowing it off after use and put away, especially now it’s clean it’s so much easier to keep clean blowing off. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Hey mate, all good now, our area wasn’t affected although most of the east of the state was. Heading back into summer now, I think this year will be quieter 👍🏻

@@RustedIronRanch looking forward to the baling video.
I am glad you had a good run with it.
Next week 👍🏻

Much appreciated Stephen. I didn’t have much trouble with the knotters once I had them figured out, although I can see how they could be a problem! 👍🏻
Id love to see this beut in motion.
