[AT] new holland baler

[jtchall at nc.rr.com]

Glad to hear it worked well for you. We had something similar that we traded 
for the biggest New Holland made around 1979, I was tool small to remember 
what model it was. I've got too many other equipment needs right now to 
spend a lot on something newer. If this one is solid it should be quite a 
bit faster, and believe me, when you farm for a sideline faster is 
important!

John-  I think that the 273 was the model my father purchased new in about
1964.  About the only time it would miss tie was on twine spool changes
before we learned to trim and really really really set the knot between
spools.  Other than that it was flawless over the 4 or 5 years my father
farmed after that purchase.  We did about 8 - 10,000 bales of hay and straw
a year.

Used to be quite a few folks on this list that were up to speed on older hay
balers, hopefully there still are. I’m wanting to upgrade a little from my
Super 66 New Holland. Great machine just really slow and getting too old to
risk breaking and ruining a crop of hay. I’ve ran across a couple of New
Holland balers. One is a 273, what are the lists thoughts on this machine? I
know its still old, but if it is fairly solid it should be OK for a couple
thousand bales per year. Any model New Holland I should stay away from?
