    Snapping Flywheel Shear Bolts on a New Holland 276 Super Baler

    Have been helping the brother in law do some small bales. He is using an MF390 with a New Holland 276 Super Baler. I would anticipate we have done 10 acres and 600 bales, but we keep snapping the flywheel shear bolt. As fat as we are aware everything it set up correctly. PTO turning at 540...

    TV Licence a.k.a. the BBC tax - no, not again.

    Ultimate baler / sled / grab combo.

    Here in my part of the world all small square balers are mostly of circa 1970's vintage, and the whole flat eight thing never seemed to take off. So after having spent another evening watching a painfully slow baler plod around a field with rain clouds looming in the distance got me thinking. If...

    Costing of baling via contractor v baling yourself

    I was wondering what saving if any could be made if I were to buy a baler to bale our 500 bales v a contractor .I was looking at a tarruup bio for the job .it is hard to see how cost effective this would be .I know a clamp is cheaper but quality ain't as good either

    Whats your machinery line up.

    These are my 3 tractors for 2500 acre arable and a few sheep. I love the simplicity and yet have enough tech to do everything I need. 8530 7930 6930 Lowest hours 4400 highest has 6500. but I will keep rebuilding them as nothing else really floats my boat.
