Blockbuster!!

Big Mike!! I’ve been where you are. I’m not saying that I know what is wrong BUT…. 2 things: balers are “timed” there are many timing marks on several different places on the baler. I never would have been able to find all of mine without the manual that I purchased off of eBay. It’s worth it’s weight in gold. There is a “safety” catch/blocker thingy that will prevent that plunger from moving back and busting the needles if it’s out of “time”. My baler would trip the safety catch when the needles were all the way down but the swing arm wasn’t fully seated because it needed a little more lube and use. Good Luck, man I wish I was there to help you work through this!!!

@@BigMikesHooptyBarn After a quick KZread search on the model 12 it seems that the plunger seizing up is a common problem, so it seems that your on the right track!!

Nice! I actually traded out. Now I have a New Holland 273 Hayliner. I will be posting video of it in use soon. Good luck with your hay adventure!

We had a New Holland baler when I was a kid. Something has to be out of time on it for the plunger not to move. Or the plunger is seriously rusted in place. Good luck!

Mike I have no idea what that thing is but it looks kool lol good luck and hope you can get it freed up!

Bale-Buster ? ... or Busted ? 😮 😎

Hopefully you have found an operator's manual. I have the #12 wire tire baler, back in the day they were probably great but, now they are well worn! Oil and grease, a 2x4 and a 8# hammer to get it unstuck, if you're still dealing with it.

I actually traded out. I now have a New Holland 273 Hayliner. It seems to do pretty well. Still figuring it out though. More parts available

I wouldn't even know where to start. You'll get it figured out I'd bet.

Big Mike, I hate to say it, but looks like you got HAD. Looks like the plunger, the big big squareish thing with the "arm" hooked to it, is rusted tight. A LOT of your favorite spray lube, a porta-power of some sort and lots of prayer, may get it unstuck. Sorry Buddy 😢.

Plunger needs to be pulled probably slide is rusted out, pull it fix it put it back together go bale

Yeah I tried everything short of disassembly to move the Plunger to no avail. Now it's up for sale for parts! I don't have any more time to waste on it.

how do you sharpen the cutters
