A lot would depend on breed and condition. But you would be very unlikely to see more than about 45% of late at that weight.

72? I have it in my head that is the answer to all questions in the world and everything from "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". To that end whenever my boys ( 11 and 7) ever ask me a question I tell them 72. I then spend the next few hours a bit at a time telling them how this is the case...

Plumped for a really nice NH940 myself a few years back. Serviced thoroughly stopped all the squeaks and bangs! Bit narrow behind a big combine but didnt miss too much. Almost 500/hr pushed really hard. Last year packer drive gave up the ghost and been having real trouble trying to find parts...

Obvious question. But are the tyres the correct sizes, not just the numbers. Some manufacturers are known to be slightly off with their sizing! Another thing to check is the carrier bearing on the front wheel drive shaft. Good luck.

Would any one know the whereabouts of an old New Holland 940 conventional baler for breaking? I need the packer drive shaft from the flywheel back.

I gave up the fight of keeping cattle last summer. Lost the winter housing 2 years ago, couldn't find anything else. Tried outwintering for 2 winters- pee'd off landlords! Miss the cows, not the TB tests.
