We are in Middle TN where it has been a great year for rain and hay production. It has also been a bad year for weeds. Every pasture I see has new pigweed growth. Is it too late to spray 2-4-D? Is there a better product for this time of year? Am I correct that it is pointless to add spray a pre-emergent in November?
Picked up an auction NH68. Seems to work pretty well. Problems it has is the red steel feed tooth is hitting the frame at the far end of it's stroke, so opposite side of the bale chamber. Also the roller bearings seem to hitting into the rail at the top of each stroke.
Right now my best guess is it's the position of the spring loaded arm, not sure what it's name is... When looking at pictures of other peoples NH balers online I see their arm is installed further than mine. Looking in the manual I can't find anything about how it should be positioned. My guess is it should be pushed in all the way to the nub I circled? Anyone know where that should be positioned?
I waited long enough to buy a lacing tool. lol We called around looking for a place to re-lace belts on two old Vermeer balers. The closest place is across the state so...............
I did search on here and found some good info but my questions are:
1. Considering Vermeer, what is the best lacing type? I have run Clipper style for years. I read here where someone said Alligator don't work well on Vermeer. How about the MATO?
2. I have to do two different widths. 14" and 6". Is there one tool that will do both well or do I need two?
3. Recommended suppliers or tools? I have seen some folks say don't get this one or that one.
We only do about 500-600 bales a year.
Current belts were replaced about 3 years ago and the belts look good just lacing is starting to look bad.
Thanks
