NH 565 square baler

[jdegner]

Hi, this is my first year cutting hay. I bought a used NH 565 square baler. It works great, but I don't know how to remove the last 2 bales produced. I tried releasing the knotter arm and taking all the tension off the tension springs, but those last 2 bales are stuck right in there. Is there an eject? Thanks.

Gotta reach in and pull them out. No easy way around it.

When I need to remove bales from bale chamber I use a crowbar to get them out.

Hay hook with a 10' loop of heavy rope hooked to the handle also works well (especially with the belt kicker on our NH 273). Snag the strings though, not just the end of the bale.

Put wood blocks in between the bales and the plunger and turn the flywheel by HAND to push them out. If you don't have a number of "6 x6"s or something big use 2x4 made into a tee shape so it pushes the hay out. Loosen the tension all the way.
