Info on replacing the auger feed belt. I was looking at it and I could not see any tensioner on it. So do you have to take one of the pulleys off to put new belt on?
Great to have another hay baler here. Stick around, post pictures.Thanks. Everything else seems to be working okay. I was just cleaning it up and saw that the auger belt was on its last leg so it needs replaced. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for compliment. I've been using JD balers a very, very long time & I've never sent my JD balers to dealership or had a technician out on service call for baler. I have been called in the past when dealer technician couldn't solve the balers problem.Great to have another hay baler here. Stick around, post pictures.
TxJim knows Deere balers better than anyone I’ve ever seen.
Knotters and proper timing can be a real air puller outter as the knotting sequence is pretty fast. Everything has to be in the proper sequence and operate in exact timing or they will fail to tie.Thanks for compliment.

My first memories of farming were as a teen in the 80’s, walking next to a flatbed lumber truck in low gear, picking bales up off the ground behind a JD336 and a IH ’66. They were standard twine.Brings back memories from a long time back, used a JD wire tie baler in the middle fifty's. Mostly used twine and at 14 ran a baler doing custom-work lined up by the farmer I worked for when a kid. Pulled by a JD G, baler was PTO driven.
Uncle at that time had an old wire-tie baler that two men road on the back each side of the discharge and hand fed wire through a wood block separator to the other side. Man on that side fed the two wires back to be tied (thread through the wire loop and wrapped around). Remember these two guys had heavy layers of hay dust covering them in short order.
