[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1478626, member: 19817"] The reason they squat is the bale aren't compressed nearly as much as a modern baler which has the ability to have a near constant pressure on the forming belts from start to finish. The chain balers can't apply much/any pressure when the core is starting and then start applying more and more pressure as the bale grows. The slower you drive the tighter the bale will generally be, trade off if when going slow the same crop goes round and round on the chains and that can be very hard on the crop. A large windrow and driving super slow will often result in a dense bale. Back in their day they were good balers. Technology has progressed a long ways from the days of the NH chainer though. Krone ans i think Class make modern chain balers that have the ability to keep pressure on the chains and produce a solid tight bale. As for net wrap on the NH chain balers they only offered it in the last few years of production so there aren't that many out there. Originally there were designed for a different type of black net wrap that never seemed to have caught on, luckily they can use standard net. I see them pop up from time to time at auctions and such, usually dirt cheap. [/QUOTE]
