I spent 6 years from the age of 18 to 24 running la 377 baker on contract until the round baler came along. This brings back memories.
Used a 376 late 70s early 80s super machine. Compliments on the video best video on a baler I have ever seen. Very factual and correct information. Most videos on CZcams about balers made by people who have not got a clue about how a baler works or how to set or sevice them.
Thank you, I appreciate it 👍🏼
When i was very young i remember they had 3 new holland balers where my dad worked and lived and where i worked when i got older, 2 x 575 1 x 268 and they never seen a drop of water all dry cleaned, and once set up they all run like a dream, remember coming home from school getting changed and straight to the hay field if all 3 were out working it was hard work as all the bales had to be loaded onto the trailers by hand and offloaded by hand, the farmer got everybody on estate involved gardeners, and the forestry guys and this also happened in the harvest time for the small straw bales, but like my dad use to say got to be able to bale the sunshine into the bales to make good hay, so good luck on the weather 🤞🤞
Awesome story Nev! Love it. Yep cut in the sunshine and vale in the sunshine 🤩
We used to have a newholland baler when I was a kid in the 70s we used to pull it with a international 574 hydro,can't remember the model number of the baler, think it was 376 but remember it used to tie the bales with wire not twine. The baler came over from the states with a bale accumulator attached the the baler on caster wheels, use to wander like crazy on the road though! Ford 5000 with farmhand f11 loader and flat 8 grab to move them ,the good old days 👍
I remember from my childhood. my dad and uncle had a new holland 377 baler, and they made a lot of square bales. they used a 1978 zetor crystal 8011. Great memories
Awesome, good old Crystal 👍🏼
Mike said he worked on on several Crystals as he was a Zetor engineer for many years.
@finditfixitfarmit my uncle still has two zetor crystals. One needs an engine overhaul, and the other is still earnings its keep on the farm.

Great video. I had an international 430 baler for about 10 years. In our small hay fields I was lucky if I could knock out around 100 bales in an hour. I decided to upgrade and bought a 377 and I remember baling about 300 bales in an hour, which was a big step up in production for me. They're a great baler and I have seen me doing 650 bales without a slipped knot. Although I need to check the knotters as it has become a more regular occurrence for slipped knots, which is one of the worst things and a pet hate to have to rebale busted knots.
Thanks for your helpful video.

Excellent video! I have a 377 and have a few repairs to do through the winter so this has been very helpful.
Those old NH balers are as good as any on the market at the time. Baler knotters have always been a work of art and mystery to me, as you said pretty much unchanged since at least the 50s. I did stumble upon some footage on the tube a while ago of a working knotter actually in work on the tractor all in slow motion all good stuff.
It would be good to get some slowmo shots when we bale, hopefully I remember 😂
Good baler and good video. I have a 376. Make sure u keep it stuffed with hay, keep your rows big, if there's not enough hay going in u will get the bendy bale.
Thanks mate. Agreed, keep the pick up full 👍🏼
Only just discovered your channel. Brilliant run through of the mechanisms, especially the knotters.
They really were a memorising machine for a young lad growing up in the 80s as l did! Like how did they tír the knot? And, the distinctive churning noise that could be heard for miles on hot summers evenings......
Here on our small farm in the west of Ireland l remember welger balers we're seen as the creme de lá creme. They made a nice bale and were a fast baler compared to the likes of a massey ferguson. Jones was another make l remember. I don't think there were any new holland here in this part of the country.
"Knots out and down" was what my father would drum into us as we'd stack them in 4s on their end like poles of a wigwam, if that makes sense. Twas all got to do with the way the bale was made and to help rain run off while they were outside seasoning.
Thank you Philip, really appreciate you sharing. Nostalgia is a wonderful thing.
Knots down and out is what I remember. Rain never far away with us either in county Tyrone.
Hi James, great video we’ve got a new Holland 935 baler which I’ll drag out the shed next week hopefully.i love magic Mikes straight forward Devon talk on what you should do in an ideal world and what actually happens when you eventually drag your baler out of the shed simply brilliant 😂👍
Hi James + Mike, you have done a good service on that New Holland baler, it's running like a good one. You soon be out there making hay, good job. Catch you soon Take care
Thanks Shaun, should be good until it rains 😂
Nice job Guys good explanation of the baler I need to get are baler out worked last year ok 🤞🤞for this year Good luck with your hay making
That’s the general consensus haha
"can't be arsed " been there and got that award 😜👍🤣
Hahaha, yep 😂
John Appleby invented the knotter 1879 and sold it to Cyrus McCormick in 1881 for $35,000.
I recall someone telling me the clearance between ledger plate and ram knife needs to be about a cigarette card, so probably an old credit card now. All i know is that the knife needs to be sharp so you don’t use so many shear bolts but i expect you know that 😊
just make sure you go as fast as you can then you get tight bales, other wise they are all flimsy cus the packer is going at the same speed either way
the older balers are better than the new ones thicker steal and bigger pto power the better the knots
100% 🥳
I was expecting something new from Henry, never mind
New from Henry?

Did you check the ram runner bearings and knife sharp?
Great video 😊
I just checked with Mike and he said “yeeesss chap, don’t worry it’s all ready to go”
The plunger knives are cows of things to sharpen. When I was young and much skinnier, I would actually fit up the chamber to sharpen. Not a hope now. There are shims to align the knives to watch out for if you're removing the knives to sharpen them.
I did say max should get up there and do it 😂😂
I can’t see myself buying a baler after watching this…😅
Best things ever mate, it’s a love hate relationship I love them and they hate me 😂
😊😊😊😊😊
The baler knotter was invented by a 19 yr old iowa farmhand...
He couldn't read or write..
But had one hell of a brain on him.
do you have to use food grade grease or should you be. nice tool for the farm.
I do believe that’s only for human consumption and I ain’t eating it. Also the grease won’t touch the hay, that would be a sticky mess 👍🏼
i only asked because i did a icecream van and had to use food grade grease on door hinges and locks. looking forward to seeing more equipment reviews.
I wish You'd stick to one channel Name!!!
We’ve only changed it once 👍🏼
PTO shields ?
What about them mate? They’re all there.
@@finditfixitfarmit
Sorry to point it out, tried to keep it to a minimum in the comments They might be there but they are supposed to be stationary when the machine is running, in your video they are clearly rotating. It's just not worth the accident or the fine, learnt from experience!
Below is a short extract from HSE
Power take-off (PTO) shafts
A tractor power take-off (PTO) and the PTO drive shaft of a machine are very dangerous if used and not correctly guarded. Every year people are killed or seriously injured in accidents involving PTOs and PTO drive shafts.
Most of these accidents are preventable if the PTO and PTO drive shaft are fitted with guards of good design which are properly used and maintained.
For PTO shaft guards, check that the guard is:
made to a recognised standard such as BS EN ISO 5674;
the correct size and length for the shaft, both when closed and when extended;
a non-rotating type, with the restraining device (for example, securing chains) in place;
properly used and maintained. Clean and lubricate guards regularly;
supported when not connected. Do not rest it on the drawbar or drop it on the ground, and do not suspend it by the restraining device;
safe from damage, for example, by livestock, when the machine is in store.
Make sure no one uses adaptors to allow a 21 spline 1000 rpm shaft to drive a 6 spline 540 rpm shaft.
