We have always had NH's and have had many of them. Not sure of what numbers since we have had our 570 for about 12 years and I am only 25 but I think we had either a 317 or 327 that was a needle eating, loose bale making, and pto shaft twistin pile! Originally had the chute and we use a thrower to load our flat racks so when the added that it was too light on the tougue. They moved the left wheel back but still rode the tongue. The hitch for the wagons was way too short and we finally stretched it after the third or forth time it got bent and it never even hit a wagon. We used to have at least three pto end shafts to keep it going. First they told us the yokes were 1/4 turn out so we had several made to correct that but they twisted just as easy. Then it was too big of tractor (108 horse Case 1070) but that is the same one we used on the baler we had before, so we used a smaller tractor and same thing. Traded it on the 570 and been happy since. It has baled 3 cuttings on 300-400 acres a year for 10-12 years with a few small problems and not one twisted pto shaft.
