[AT] 224T baler

[charlie hill]

No doubt about that Dean but there isn't any way we can help John with that 
from here.
It's gonna come down to his call.  I realize his question was just to see if 
anyone had
any experience with that model and knew of any specific issues.

Charlie,

I usually can decide too if I can figure out the first three!  Those are the 
difficult ones.  :-)

That was pretty much my point John.  If it is in decent shape and the price 
is right and it will do your job .... buy it.

Owning 2 OLD Deere combines, I can verify that they generally do have great 
parts support.

Copying someone else is the sincerest form of flattery!

New Holland was the norm in balers here 30 years ago. Then after all the 
dealers closed up, Deere easily took over. If I were looking at a newer 
machine it would probably be Deere based solely on our location compared to 
dealer networks.
New Holland and Case-IH dealers are over 1 hour drive one way.

John,  I don't know a thing about it but I've got two observations, one of 
which might require my flame suit:

Parts should be readily available
They most likely copied a successful design from someone else.

Anyone here have experience with a Deere 224T baler?
I’m considering replacing my New Holland Super 66 for 2 reasons; Its SLOW 
(less than 2 bales per minute) It is extremely worn and that is starting to 
cause reliability and bale quality issue's. Cost more to fix it than it’s 
worth.

Thoughts and opinions?

John Hall
