Larry Posted 19:42 (#3453137 - in reply to #3453085) Subject: RE: new holland chain baler ND I had an 851 for years. Actually had 2 of them for years. Loved the baler, but in corn stalks they didn't work all that great. The pickup teeth don't have enough strength to push in the stalks into the bale chamber. It will work, but you'll have a lot of bales that don't always start.

For anything else, they were an OK baler, especially in their day. Just make sure you keep your rails on the floor chains in good shape or the chains will cut into the floor. Posted 20:02 (#3453220 - in reply to #3453085) Subject: RE: new holland chain baler NW KS In the right conditions they work great. Gets a little wet or a little dry and you will have problems. We baled corn stalks with it, don't recall it being too bad.

EDIT- This was with an 850 and 851. Edited by nks 20:02 Posted 20:22 (#3453309 - in reply to #3453085) Subject: RE: new holland chain baler Jon I have had both 851 and 855 balers. The 855 was ALOT better even though there are similar machines. Heavier chains, roller intake, no floor chains, monitor to program twine and much heavier bales.

Posted 22:24 (#3453713 - in reply to #3453085) Subject: RE: new holland chain baler I have an 850 and an 855.

I wouldn't waste your time on anything older than the last series they made (855, 853, 848 ). These were made in the late 80s and yearly 90s. These models had a roll on the bottom instead of chains on the bottom. The balers with chains on the bottom didn't make a very tight bale and were always wearing out lower chains. Also, the earlier models had a really weak pickup.

The newer ones have a much simpler 'solid' pickup that doesn't rotate the bars around on rollers. In addition to the chain wear, pay attention to the condition of the airbags. They are expensive and even though they look like commodity parts out of semi trailers, they are a speciality item. I really like the 855. I only make about 200 bales a year with it, but it really eats whatever you throw at it.

I've only plugged it up a few times and that was because of baling branches or driftwood. It works really good on cornstalks and even works for balage. I bought mine broken for $1000 and had to put $1000 of parts into it, but that was 6 years ago, so it doesn't owe me anything anymore. You can get one in decent shape for well under $3000, I think.

Repairs on balers that old can eat up any cost savings darn quick. I have a JD 535 and I still call the custom baler guy to do cornstalk bales. You might be more money ahead to invest in things that will reduce your hay needs such as better bale feeders or bale processor and bunks, plant winter forage, graze cornstalks, etc. Posted 05:58 (#3453942 - in reply to #3453713) Subject: RE: new holland chain baler NC Ohio. Tjdub - 23:24 In addition to the chain wear, pay attention to the condition of the airbags. They are expensive and even though they look like commodity parts out of semi trailers, they are a speciality item. I agree with everything you said, except this.

I have a 848, bags through NH (goodyear ) are $650 a piece, Goodyear bags from a truck shop are $350 each, if you cross reference it to a firestone bag they are $200 each. Both my bags were replaced this year. Late model is the way to go. Some of the later ones also had net wrap, but I don't know how reliable it was. They were available in a lot of different variations you need to look for also.

They had single or dual twine arms, manual, hyd, or electric tie (toggle switch control & monitor with auto tie ) options. Some also had auto reverse (bale eject ) and kicker ramps.

Some models make somewhat of an odd sized bale also. My 848 makes a 4x4 1/2' bale, i think the 855 is 5x5 1/2' Make sure you check for chain wear, and bar condition. They can both be bought aftermarket (Shoup for sure ) but are still pricey. Chains for mine are in the $8-900 range & bars are around $45, I think bars for the 5'ers are in the $60 range, and there are a lot of bars. If you can find one with air bags (tighter bale then the springs ) dual twine arms, and auto tie (electric ) I think you would be happy. Posted 12:02 (#3454592 - in reply to #3453085) Subject: RE: new holland chain baler Little River, TX Two reasons to do your own baling. One is You just want the fun of baling hay.

The other is the difficulty of getting someone to come to you and bale small a small number of bales. Maybe a third reason, would be for quality control of your oat hay. Posted 12:30 (#3454640 - in reply to #3454592) Subject: Re: new holland chain baler humboldt iowa thats what i want hay wilson i maybe do 50 to 60 bales a year between stalks and oat hay and the occasional cuttin of alfalfa that gets rained on so i can small square it Posted 18:05 (#3455103 - in reply to #3453085) Subject: Re: new holland chain baler Northern New York I have a 848 and it has been a great baler. It has always baled whatever I put it into, both dry and baleage.

When we had dairy cows it did over 1,000 wet bales a year, now we do maybe 100 dry bales a year. It has been pretty much trouble free. If you do get one with airbags and you get a leak make sure you check ALL connections, then check them again. I thought we had a bad airbag and replaced them both only to find a connection in the steel lines was leaking slowly. Costly mistake! Posted 18:39 (#3455218 - in reply to #3454640) Subject: Re: new holland chain baler Sumner GA, Located in southwest GA, That is easy even with the old as the hills models.

I have rolled 70 alfalfa bales in a short day, wouldn't be afraid of an floor chain model for that few a year. Keep the rails and wear strips good in the floor and don't be afraid to coat it in oil and they run darn near forever, just don't be in a hurry. I would not spend more than $1000 on a floor chain model unless it was exceptional shape. Check the floor out good. We wore holes in ours, I changed it a few years ago, it is not fun at all, marginally easier if you want to take the pickup off, otherwise you need a long extension or foot long fingers to do the front row of bolts. Channels are not bad to change, just take out floor chains and change them, ours went far enough for the chain to cut into the axle. It bales real good with a good floor, you will cuss badly if the floor is worn out.

Look at the hubs, later models had a heavier 6 bolt hub, you want that hub. I have ruined 2 rims, those 4 bolt rims are near and dear to New Holland's heart, to the tune of $100 for the rim and $150 for the tire, which is also somewhat special odd sized tire, at least on our 846. Look for hydraulic or electric tie, ours is hand crank, which limits you to no cab, if that is important, and really builds up your biceps after a couple of days, if your arm doesn't fall off first. Pickup on our at least is a 3 bar pickup, I do not know if there is a speed up sprocket for them, but they run painfully slow in light hay, really likes heavy swaths where you can go slow. Going to be a somewhat finiky baler as far as what it will bale. It wont bale super wet or super dry hay, but with a good floor, it will bale mostly anything you would reasonably bale dry. If you need a silage baler, 848 or 849 is going to be about your only options in a New Holland chain baler.

846 doesn't make tight bales, good alfalfa I estimate about 800 to maybe 1000 pounds, about what a Ford 601 will handle for a reference, never baled stalks with mine, but it should make a decent bale, just maybe on the lighter side. Tying every once in awhile gives an issue, mainly buildup over the knife causing the twine not to cut, worse in wetter hay, hay gets caught in the roller chain and dropped on top of the knife, might could put a deflector over the knife to prevent that, otherwise just wipe it off when it happens. Tiny little shearbolt on it, but rarely shear it, still need a small supply on hand. Overall decent baler, I feel better than most others of the era.

Posted 20:40 (#3455666 - in reply to #3453085) Subject: RE: new holland chain baler Central Texas For that amount of hay, wouldn't it be more cost effective to buy all your hay and just graze the corn stalks and oats. Should be able to run a few more head this way. Also allows you to import others fertilizer instead of moving your own from field to feeding area. Posted 08:18 (#3456524 - in reply to #3453085) Subject: Re: new holland chain baler Winnipeg, Manitoba lots of people hate those chain slat balers but every time we bale and run into conditions that are difficult, especially if having trouble picking up material (axial flow combine straw, corn stalks ) it seems we always dig out the old 855 and it will eat anything you throw at it.

They might not be the prettiest bales but it amazes me how well it picks up anything.

Used it every year until 2008 then used it for 14 bales in 2012. It has lots and lots of bales on it. I would look past one at all.

Seems the smaller baler didn't have so far across never bend tubes like on the big ones. Still got it. Don't think its for sale as old man loves the baler. Jump to page: Now viewing page 1 50 messages per page Jump to forum:.
