We put 662 bales through it in 3 hr 15 min on Monday, didn't miss a single tie! It hadn't been tying but a simple tucker finger adjustment fixed her up!

Hi , I have owned a 336 baler. It was a great machine baling 7 to 10,000 a year for over 15 years. Good luck with yours

It just went through its second season. Up to about 10,000 bales through it now. No serious problems. Still makes slight banana bales but have tried all kinds of things. Only thing that works well is feeding it really slow which bites as it will eat hay great.
Have adjusted the packer forks, checking for missing hay dogs, missing hay resistors etc removed some bolt heads from the drop chute that seemed to catching, all to no avail. The side away from the pickup always ends up a bit looser.

Sounds a bit like what I am experiencing with my early '70s vintage NH 273, although it varies with the way and with what I feed it.
Seems do bannas more with drier hay.
I'm still learning on hay.

You might try installing the newer style feeder fingers. They have five adjusting holes instead of three. They were changed for the very problem you are having.

hello,
im not sure if the american balers are similar to europeans. if yes, i'm thinking it is smaler to the jd 342 , and this works perfectly with a 65 hp tractor.

JD 24T and 336 probably are the best balers at making a neat consistent
bale no matter how much the hay changes from one side of a field to another.
We used to bale around 30,000 bales a year with a 24T.

We put another 3500 bales through it this year. Still a slight bannana. Haven't got to adding more holes for more throw. Sunday I made 333 bales in an hour and didn't miss a tie. Some soft bales but the raking was terrible, the hay was dragging such that 30 ft of windrow would drag with it then dump in a glob. This was tough as you'd lose the feed then pickup a giant lump that would stall the pickup.
