New Holland baler

Hi, guys.

We picked up a New Holland baler in pretty good shape for its age.

Here's the rub- I would like to get an operator's manual for it. They are available from Cosmo-demonic New Holland, or whatever CNHGlobal stands for. The decal says it's a Hayliner 269, but by chance, I happened to see the tag, on the tongue, which calls it a model 268. My instinct is to trust the tag. But would anybody know if the two models were just cosmetically different? There's a manual for each model, and they're only about $12, so I guess I could buy both, but I would rather not...

Thanks,

Don

Like Mike in KY says-longer toungue for a hitch, but most important with the longer toungue....is a third pto knuckle. The driveline has three knuckles, instead of two...only difference between a 268 and 269. Idiot NH engineers.....look at the baler, measure how many inches from the pto(flywheel) centerline to the left side of the bale chamber....well under two feet, so who makes a tractor four feet wide? Even with the 269 hitch and pto setup, and a tractor with wheel spacing that matches 30 inch corn rows, (typical corn row spacing in the 60s, when they were made, was 38)it is imposssible to not run over the edge of the windrow. PTO driveline is always running at an angle (to the left) while baling around a field is done to the right- so the pto chatters on turns. That"s why I never cut clockwise with the NH Haybine or NI discbine- I split the fields, cut them in lands, and I could leave the pto running the whole time after making 3-4 opening rounds. Same pattern with chopping haylage with the Gehl field chopper--leave the pto on, turn left.

Not necessarily true Mike. I've seen in several manuals for different balers where the tongue length is actually an option. I'd trust the serial number tag.

Not much of a tongue on this one, about 3 or 4 feet.

Well, then cool. I'll just act as if it's a 268, and go from there.
Thank you,

Don

I have had both 268 and 269 balers. They are the same except for the longer tongue and a few other minor deluxe features on the 269. The tongue on the 269 also has a cable that stops (when working) the outside wheel from rolling when the pin is pulled to swivel the tongue into working position. These balers can also be found with the supersweep pickup.
