Green Baler Parts has the parts and information you need to troubleshoot and repair your older Deere balers. With 20 years of experience repairing, rebuilding and remanufacturing Deere small square balers, company staff know the weak spots and how to fix them.
  “We have the expertise to rebuild knotters or if time is critical, we can offer rebuilt replacements,” says Bruce Reeves, Green Baler Parts. “If hay is ready to be put up, we always have some on hand, ready to go.”
  Reeves points out that while baler knotter technology is relatively unchanged over the past 50 to 60 years, the OEM sales and service business has changed considerably. With the growth in demand for large square and round balers, there are fewer local service technicians at dealerships with small baler experience. Parts can also be in limited supply or not even available for older Deere balers.
  “We built our reputation and experience reconditioning balers for local farmers,” says Reeves. “That’s what our business has always been. As our reputation spread, our business grew. Today we sell all over the U.S., as well as in Canada. Since we kicked off our website, we have shipped parts to Romania, Spain, Mexico and Barbados. About half our sales are direct from the website.”
  Every used part offered for sale has been inspected, tested and tech Certified Field Ready. If components are worn, they’re replaced or rebuilt.
  The company has also improved on several OEM parts, such as the Updated Tucker Finger Assembly Kit and the Updated Slip Clutch Center. The former eliminates sloppy bales due to loose Tucker Finger components. The latter eliminates wobble that can turn into an expensive and time-consuming repair.
  “They are two of our biggest sellers,” says Reeves. “The Slip Clutch Center in particular is a significant improvement over the OEM design.”
  Reeves explains that the Deere clutch center is about an inch thick, and it rides on a splined shaft that is about 3 in. long. Deere added a spacer that made the splines even more susceptible to wear over time. If the wear is bad enough, the shaft has to be replaced, which requires splitting the gearbox.
  The Green Baler Parts solution is a thicker clutch center with double the working area between the clutch center teeth and shaft splines. Slip clutch centers for Deere 6, 7 and 8 Series balers are priced at $140.
  “Our slip clutch center has an extra inch of metal and contact, eliminating wobble and vibration,” says Reeves. “We’ve gotten tremendous feedback from customers on it.”
  Baler owners who wish to repair their balers themselves, but need a little expertise, are invited to sign up for consultations with expert technicians.
  “Our troubleshooting and consultation is set up for customer convenience,” says Reeves. “At $39 for half an hour or $75 an hour, they can make an appointment to discuss their baler problems with a technician. They don’t have to call hoping a technician is free.”
  If requesting a part be rebuilt, Reeves suggests calling or contacting the company by email for the correct shipping address.
