Thanks in advance for any help. I grew up on a JD 224W baler with a Wisconsin motor, I could make a bale with it most of the time but ultimately the tie system got the best of me as the bill hooks would hold the wire too long and pull the tie in 2 quite often. We rebuilt the knotters, new bill hooks, retarded them, advanced them, did most everything we could think of. I don't know if maybe the newer rolls of wire had lighter oil or no oil to help release, I never looked into that possibility. Anyways, we finally just parked it as we weren't doing enough to justify a newer baler and I was going to burn that thing to the ground if I broke any more bales so we just hired out custom for our little hay patch. Last night looking around Google I came across a shed kept 336 for a nice price. One picture so I don't know condition until I look in person but I was wondering if anybody has ran these 2 machines and what improvements were made to the 336, pickup width, maintenance, all those goodies. Thanks again.
