I will be making more videos, balers swathers, Farm equipment etc.. I am in the process of learning how to fly my new drone. Stay tuned may take me a month or two to figure some of these things out!!! Thank you for the interest in the videos!
I do not own one, I think they are a very very well designed Baler. They are more for the fodder and straw market. I think they are a bit over kill for the alfalfa hay market due to the fact that they will make a far to sense of a bale and will raise the concern of spoilage. You would need to bale your hay extremely dry if you were going to run an HD in alfalfa or grass hay. The 2020 models of the 340 plus balers also have the new loop master knotters like the HD Baler though.
@@SuperFriday88 that's exactly my opinion. I am a farmer in Germany and I would really like to discuss some other topics with you. Do you have an email address? You reach me under: agrar-sh@gmx.de Would be great!
Very nice vids. Appreciate the straight down-to-earth view on technical matters, rather than the very opinionated and filthy mouth of OLF, pulling in politics all the time. That being said, how do you think about High Density balers, like the new New Holland HD or the Krone HDP? Talking about preventive maintenance, you say very little about the knotters. Are the knives the only thing you exchange?
The new holland balers lube system is superior to any other Baler, therefor we do not have knotter failures as much. I do rebuild complete knotters when they start having issues. As for HD balers the new holland is a much better Baler, a couple of the big companies in Idaho traded off all of there almost bran new krones for the new holland HD.
Your balers obviously are not running in mushroom hay and cornstalks. I run krone balers in pivot irrigated hay also and I can tell you it doesn't cost $10,000 a year to maintain any baler in our situation. You want to talk about longevity, krone of California has a baler with 111,000 bales they are selling field ready. How many new holland or massey balers have you seen still going strong with over 100k on the meter?
I’ve baled everything from alfalfa to haylage to grain to straw to grass to tules I have never baled corn stocks but I have baled in some extremely abrasive conditions, and I have baled hundreds and hundreds of thousands of tons of hay ranging from half ton to 6 tons per acre with my new holland big balers. So no complaints here. I’ve bailed reeds canary grass at 6.5 tons per acre with a 595 Big Baler that a Heston 4790 wouldn’t touch they had to put it on a truck and take it home. Everyone I know that has ran Krone in Oregon and Nevada hate them because they are so expensive to buy, not real good customer service in this area and they are a fortune to maintain.
Keep making baler videos! I really enjoy watching them and I wanna see more of your operation!

@@SuperFriday88 no problem man keep up the good work!
Just traded my 2008 BB960 w/60000 bales through it for a new 340 Plus. Can't wait for summer to go let that thing eat.
340 plus is 20 times the Baler the 960A balers were so you will absolutely love it!
Have you ever had issues with the header drive chain? I watch OLF too and he had a lot of bother with it. He does seem a rough operator tho
No most of his issues are self inflicted.
Hi! Do you have some experiences with new NH Bigbaler High Density? What do you think about the machine?
