It's got a few issues, no doubt, but how extensive are the issues causing the new Holland 575 small square baler to miss knots?
Today I begin replacing parts and discover a BRAND NEW ISSUE that SETS BACK BALING!
If you have a small square baler, this is NOT a video series you want to miss if your baler keeps missing knots!

Years ago, I was sent to New Holland, PA, to their factory, for a week long class on square balers. When I returned to our shop in northern IL, I spent the next three years as the only factory trained NH baler mechanic in a fifty mile radius. I would spend all summer on service calls. I could diagnose knotter issues over the phone. The owners manual is a godsend. We actually built a special tool to NH specs to bend/adjust the knotter arms the knives attach to.

Diesel makes a good cleaner but also that purple power cleaner does a heck of a job, When I rebuilt the 460 in my F250 I found overnight was as long as I could keep parts soaking. It would start stripping the finish off parts. An afternoon and that chain will be clean and ready for lube. I just finally bought a set of ratchet head wrenches last year, before then I just used a box or open end wrench and moved it 30,000 times for those tight spots. I would say you deserve the coveted PAB ( pat on the back ) for such excellent work, remember you're a farmer you do what you have too 😁, Although I'm sure Erik will come up with something more to your liking.

Hey, don't worry about the small operation. We started with just 80 acres & ancient equipment. We later started dairy farming. Baling became multiple days of 1300 bales + per day. We have since scaled back. We still bale hay but more like the early days. We however still use our dairy farm days baler. We have never had the insulators gouge out like that. My only guess is the plastic twine, but I must admit that doesn't make sense. We have always used sisal twine except for a short disastrous experiment with plastic

The chains are supposed to look like that...I'd just get a long air nozzle and blow them off and re oil. Leave them alone unless they are worn out, taking them off to be cleaned won't help. BIG Tip. We just lost both needles in out baler. The safety latch spring broke and did not work. Something happened and the plunger broke off both needles... Replace the safety latch spring but it is expensive $27.00.... It's on the lower frame front, drivers side. It's the device that stops the plunger and breaks the shear bolt if you are lucky. Test it often to make sure it's free. Our regular baler operator was out and I ran 1,440 bales thru in 5 hours a personal best for me. No bad bales.

Just replace the chains if there is any slop in them at all which there probably is. Chain is cheap the Sprockets are expensive and hard to change. If you change the chains it will keep your Sprockets from wearing. A sloppy chain wears out your sprockets quick. A good tight new chain lands in the grooves instead of on the edge of the tooth. Those chains have probably never been changed. You can get big rolls of chain and a chain breaker on Ebay cheaper. PJ1 Motorcycle chain lube is cheap tacky and doesn't fling off.

@This1LifeWeLive 2 жыл бұрын

That was part of the problem when we bought it. The twine guides coming out of the bale twine box were too tights, causing the twine to pull back on the knotter assembly and then of course break. It also wore clean through all of the ceramic round guides, so I ahve to replace those and start at the beginning with un needed tension, dialing it back.

Soak the chains in automatic transmission fluid, rinse them with diesel fuel and lube them with a dry moly lube so the dust doesn't stick to them. The moly lube goes on wet so it penetrates then the carrier evaporates leaving the moly in the chain. The ceramic twine guides don't need to be very tight and you could put rubber or tape on the clamp.

Moly lube is not going penetrate into the rollers and pins. It does not even last very long on the surfaces before it is worn away. Elevators and escalators run 24/7 and are expected to last with proper maintenance 30 years minimum with out a day off. Most are in service over 50 years. When you have equipment costing many hundreds of thousands of dollars. Dont cheap out on using cheaper less effective alternatives. Pay me now or pay me later.

@@tiredoldmechanic1791 my 40 years working on equipment says different. If you use molly you need to be always servicing that equipment. Using chain lube is a proven winner. It is also labor efficient. Chains that run 50 years before needing replacement. Also less adjustment is required. In the end it is about cost. With millions of units running thru out the world by all of the major manufacturing in the elevator industry and none use molly. If it was better, cheaper they would use it.

You should be able to easily rotate the flywheel by hand. The only time it should fight you, is if the plunger is compressing a bale. It it turns that hard, check the bearings on the plunger. Some used rollers, but older ones used adjustable wooden slides. They can get wet, expand and bind, or just be way too tight on adjustment.

Best thing I have found for cleaning chains is a bucket with a couple of gallons of diesel fuel or kerosene with a quart or two of Automatic transmission fluid. I normally wipe the chains off with a rag or three and then give them a couple day bath in diesel fuel/fuel-oil/kerosene and automatic transmission fluid mix, followed up by another wipe down and use a wire brush dipped in the cleaning solution on any gunk that caked on heavy and lube them up after I reinstall them. Just be sure the grease/lube you are using on your chains and for that matter on your equipment is waterproof, because believe it or not many greases are not waterproof

Working on escalators almost every thing is driven with roller chains. First drop your new chains in a bucket of mystic chain oil, it has an additive that makes the oil stick to the chain. Buying chain in bulk is a lot cheaper. A set of chain tools and parts like offset links and master links. Chain breakers and chain pullers for connecting the chains together. When you run out of adjustment on the idlers. Replace the chain and sprockets if worn. Use the offset links to create maximum adjustment. Then lubricate those chains so they last. If they get dirty and dry. Remove and drop in cleaner then overnight in the mystic bucket to soak. Not uncommon to get 20 plus years on some chains on an escalator.

Suzanne, I have several things to point out . The white insulator should have the flat spots and when tightened you should be able to move them a little . The plates in the twine disk that you mentioned 1/8 inch clearance are actually cleaner plates for the twine disk and the 1/8 “ measurement should be with you pushing the plates up to the needle. The twine disk leaf springs you put the washer under are tension springs and have nothing to do with how far the twine holder push’s in to the disk. The needles should drag lightly on the knotter frame when coming through and last I noticed when you were turning the baler over with twine the right side gear on the tapered shaft was not turning. The shaft was spinning inside like the nut wasn’t tight. Not trying to sound like a know it all but have been doing balers for a long time . Just want to help 🙂

Lots of good advise on cleaning the chain, but don't clean those chains! Those chains are stretched and need to be replaced. Judging by the red paint on the chains I believe those are original chains, which means their time is up. The chains should go on fairly tight, with the adjusters in the first quarter of adjustment. When the chains reach the end of adjustment, as yours have, then it's time for new chains. As the chains stretch they reach a point where they no longer ride correctly on the sprockets and will wear out the sprockets, which cost a lot more than a little bit of chain.

@This1LifeWeLive 2 жыл бұрын

I am afriad I'm going to have to re-sort all my videos! So the issue had started way back when the tension was too tight on the string (thanks to those ceramic holders) and it caused the knotters to snap the bolts out of their holders and fly upward. Since they didn't do it at the same time, they fell out of time from each other. The nut that holds the worm gear must be loosened and you tap the star gear with a hammer and punch to rotate it and the cam disc. If both seem out, set one FIRST (don't forget to correctly torque the worm gear nut to proper specs as over tighteneing strips it - that was problem 2). Once one is set (grab a good manual it should read the specs for setting the disc cams), you can "time" the second knotter to the first. Accordng to One Lonely Farmer it might take a few rounds of re-timging the one side. I think the follow up video referenced OLF or one lonely farmer in the title . . .

The needle clearance to twine disc holder is based on the fact that the knotter frame is NOT jumping up and down during the tying cycle, resulting in the bill hook NOT getting a hold of the twine the needle just brought up, resulting the twine is NOT where it needs to be at the start of the cycle.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This all happens in a "nano second" all settings and adjustments MUST be PERFECT otherwise no knot plus the frame can't be moving during this critical time.

The "baler twine" (as named in the manual) is not called "string". That is what is used to fly a kite. LPL

On a John Deere baler you can rotate fly wheel even when hooked up to tractor.Not sure if you New Holland T5 115 can Rotate the PTO shaft freely with the engine off by hand?I don't know if that tractor has like a clutch brake when PTO is disengaged.our 1520 JD was a gear engagement to use PTO,push clutch pedal further down for PTO disengage.That tractor didn't gave on the go lever engagement had to stop to put PTO in gear.our JD 3020 had its own live PTO engage any time on the fly had its own separate clutch.yours is done electronicly like a a/c clutch on a compressor

It does have a clutch brake, so after the pto is disengaged the flywheel keeps spinning

Watching the video, I noticed that the right side assembly is loose and moving around when the needles are up.

Some places say to keep it tight, other say it needs a small bit of play. I CAN tell ya that for this machine, extra tight leads to machine failure (I made THAT mistake a while back). So both should ahve some play :)

Use the flywheel, check all the timing markers and make sure it is in time, must of pushed the 285 plenty hard as it had 3 sizes of sheer pins and u used them all, especially flywheel plns

My husband likes to push his luck with farm equipment ;) (he has since been banned from running the baler). I think this was my last session timing the baler, since then I have had zero missed knots and everything has been running to perfection. It IS still a hair bit off between the knotters, but so far hasn't caused any issues, even after 2,000 bales :)

You don't have the twine disc gear nut tight after you loosened it. It's spinning and the gear is not moving. It has to be more than finger tight.

Correct. I spent probably 16 hrs working on it, so it was tough capturing every adjustment. Just tried to shoot the overall idea

You're missing a flat plate on your tension springs on the string tension and when they get War they will not hold the string need about 8 lb pull on the string so you need to buy a flat plate to go with that curved plate but I would put two new ones on then you won't have no problems

Ok I may be late to the party here. But watching your video during the manual turning of the PTO, the worm gear on the right side is not turning when the worm gear on the left is turning. I am no professional expert, but that seems wrong to me.

you probably already know this by now but the right worm gear shaft was turning but not the worm gear ...need to actually tightn the nut you loosened to adust the twine discs to re-seat the taper fit.....also the "guy" with the tail that is against the twine disc that you put a washer on is not a twine disc clearance adjuster it sets how tight the twine discs hold the string it is basicly a flat spring the tigher you tighten it down the tighter it holds the string you adjust it by putting a string in with a pull gage and tighen it till you have to pull X # of pounds to pull the string thru when its closed tightening it to a washer behind it is defeating its purpose .........anyway i assume your baler tech got you going .....good luck hope you get that great looking hay up ok...

@This1LifeWeLive 3 жыл бұрын

the cam discs will not re-time unless the nut is loose and the worm gear loose. The tail is for the tensioner, it move left or right adding or lessoning tension on the twine cam discs. The manual said a washer can be added if needed. The part there is off the old baler and mst likely quite worn, but in better shape than the parts we pulled off this baler. But you'll find out in the next video if it got going or not ;)
