quick question

Jamo58 · Jul 26, 2010

what gage/thickness metal should I use for making a bale chute for my JD 336 baler. I want to make the chute out of one piece of sheet stock brake formed to make the sides.

Thanks,
Jameson

14ga if supported at 16 to 18" intervals.
12ga if stand alone. Jim

You must have access to a pretty good brake. The older balers that were fabricated with angle iron and plate worked well also. I thought they were better built.

You do know that the JD unit for that baler was a two piece right?

If you are pulling a flat rack you will need it in 2 pieces as the incline in one piece will bend your bale into a u shape. If you are dropping on ground you do not need a chute. I cannot think of any application where a one piece will work. What's the plan? Curious.

I'm having a metal shop make it for me...they have the equipment to do this fairly easily. I just threw together a quick drawing so they knew what I was talking about

now I will be able to pull my flat rack behind the baler (I still have to fabricate my wagon hitch) in time for straw and this year's second cutting.
