Baling hay with a John Deere 630 tractor and 336 baler.
Baling hay in 2008 with a John Deere 630 tractor and 336 baler. At the time the video was taken, the tractor was 50 years old, the baler 34 years old, and the thrower attachment and wagon 20 years old.
hu112 look at the knotters on deere and new holland they are both square knot systems and very similar. i had a 336 and loved it and love the deere balers but ive balled way more with a N H and never had any probs with them either. you can either keep your equipment up or you can spend time in the field working on it simple as that
i know of a dude getting bailed. he died
Man . Thats an old site but a beautiful one . When I was in my teens I would get a penney a bail to haul this kinda hay, I would sometime make 6 to 8 bucks a day
awsome to answer some bales break but if the baler is set up right it might be one per wagon
Nothing better than cruising around the field on a beautiful summer day. Been a long time since mah behind graced the metal seatpan of a classic tractor.
do you break any bales when throwing them up there like that?
Yes you still do unless you have a skid steer.
Our JD 336 baled a mountain of hay and straw for us and there isn’t a better machine out there.
I hated baling corn stalks though.
BTW, if you even compare a NH baler to a Deere, you must not farm much. Deere will NEVER miss a knot. NH, good luck with those. Stupid knotter, stupid belt thrower….junk. Deere costs more for a reason. However, a NH 56 rake is the nutz, deere loses in that department..
If my “I used to be a dairy farmer from NE Pennsylvania” eyes don’t decieve me, that sir looks like a “Meyer” body on a gehl chassis. But then, I’m old and stupid and to me the “cyclone head” on your john deere “A” sounds like music…..(even though they called it a “630″.
goooooood ol’ Sqaure bales
There’s a 14t and a 14ws, the latter being wire ties. JD had 14t’s and 24t’s which were very popular. JD also had 214t’s which were heavier built models. I think they also had a 224t model? All could have twine or wire ties, and a Wisconsin motor power or PTO power drive.
john deeres are the best
Well, I guess this sure beats standing on a skid or a hayrack stacking them like I did in the 50’s and 60’s. Saves manpower. But I guess you still have to stack ‘em by hand?
Nice I want one. Would make haying alot more fun lol.
good times good times…lol
Very nice setup. I guess that baler doesn’t miss many knots ’cause if it did, it would be one heck of a mess! 5/5
John Deere makes good balers, but New Holland makes the best.
is there a john deere 15t square bailer?
Grandpa used to run a 730D and oh boy did that sound nice. That big ole knife on the NH Baler used to rock it while it idled.
wow…thats a nice deere. we got a 70 i restored a couple years ago. we bale hay with a ford 6700 and a 14T baler. do about 2000 a year. no kicker though so we gotta pick them all up off the ground….
thats cool but it would be a lot easier if somon e would stack for you. much easier to unload
I agree with you, the old John Deere’s have a sound all their own. I love to hear them run.
gotta love those old johny poppers i love to see them at work! i love mine. i have a john deere 40 and a 430. theyre my life i love them.
gotta love the sound of a deere working
