Did you buy the baler new? The hitch comes with the baler.

Kessler Farms, thanks for the heads up! I called JD and sure enough, the hitch should have been included... Then I called Shoppa's, and they are going to send me one for free.

Good to hear. I bought a new 328 last year and the hitch was included, so I thought you needed to call the dealer.

Been pretty happy with it? Any tips or things to look for?

Thanks!!

I've put around 7500 bales through mine so far without any issues. No real tricks to baling, just read the manual and check your bales pretty often. I put the hydraulic fold on mine, plus extended bale chute and hitch. We load standing on the wagons.

I wonder if during PDI the dealer checked to be sure the slip clutch was adjusted correctly???? That is very important.

PDI was probably done at the service writer's desk with nothing more than a working pen.

I would not have thought it would be this hard

I got the ea hitch... bare, with no hardware...

Equal angle hitches with ALL hardware are figured into the base price of new JD equip. that require them. I'd being calling the JD home office in Moline,Ill.

Finally got the complete hitch. Thanks Shoppas! They worked hard to make it right.

Will be baling on Wednesday! I'm going to adjust the slip clutch that morning, since I don't know if it was done.

I'm glad you got your hitch. It's hard to believe with 6 dealer locations it took them this long to get a part that should have come with the baler on the truck from Ottumwa. At least they did when I hauled the balers in from Iowa.
