Ok well I went to an auction this weekend and I came across a NH 281 baler I dont know much about this model but the price was rigth so I bought it. It had some old hay in it so I fired it up and ran about 6 bales through it to push the old stuff out and then all of a sudden I heard a loud bang and the sheer bolt was snapped. After searching around I noticed that the safety bar was in place , the one that locks in when the needles are stuck up in the air.....now Im clueless hoe to fix this I could use all the help I can get.Thank You guys your my lifesave thus far.
I looked at the needles in the back and they are stuck up through the notters and wont realease, what do I do to release these.
Also How do you go about timing this baler from scratch again?
How does this happen?Is it from pushing the old hay out ?
What do I need to look for as far as things broken?
I really need to fix this by weds at the latest thank you for all the help
PS I bought this because I havea 273 baler as well and this one looked bigger is it really bigger or not and which one is newer ? Which one should I keep (reliability , maintaining, effecientcy) Thank You
