New Holland D1000 Baler

[Selectamatic]

Very much just kicking ideas around while it's raining outside...

Would 100hp handle a New Holland D1000 baler in hay or straw, without pushing too hard on fairly flat land?

What were these balers like, they seem to be a fairly basic, decent enough baler? What was reliability, running costs etc etc like on these?

Any thoughts welcome!

As long as the straw swaths are,t to big it should just about manage it, I knew one chap that run one behind a ford 7810.

Remember seeing one operated behind a jd 2650 all be it after some moderate adjustment.

I've pulled one behind a 6400 and it handled it fine, banks could be fun if you didnt have weights on

Only problems with a D1000 is that some parts are obsolete now and the bale size is not ideal for fitting on a wagon. Still not a bad baler if parts were no problem.

Perfect baler if your selling hay for horses but most D1000 are worn out now and as above parts are hard to get . Back in their day there were plenty pulled around by JD 3050 / maxum5140 etc . Slow but did the job and we knew no different

I had one for six years, 100Hp is fine, don't put the pressure up too high. There is a small sweet point for the main timing chain, they then run and sound great. Check the main rollers and the steel guides they run on. Good luck.

Used to be quite popular round here, fairly simple baler.

Just make sure the big chain is in good order and the rest of the machine not too worn out

Hey there,
I'm curious, Why do you mention its good for selling hay for horses? Is it good for legumes (alfalfa)?

Right sort of size to be handled easily for the horse job

Neighbour had one years ago and was quite excited when he got a bale with 4 strings

Handled easily? a 400 kg bale? Is it about removing flakes from the bale? Please teach me more

It’s effectively an 80x70 bale more like 250kg

D1000 bales did break out well into easily manually picked up flakes, more so than some of the bigger newer balers .

Are those cm?

 

[crised]

How do you usually load the bales into a truck? I'm looking for something cheap.

That is a Quad bale, 120x70cm a D1000 is 90x60cm

You’d struggle to 400kg in a D1000 bale
