What is the big difference between 14t and 24t 214 and 224? I am most familure with 14t.

old · Jul 4, 2010

Well the 14T was one of the first best ones and the rest are fr the most part up dated 14Ts with small improvements along the way. Lots of parts between the 14T and 24T will work on either one can not say that holds true of the other 2 but I would almost bet some parts will work on all 4 of them. Also the 14T is the oldest and the 224 is the newest of them

I've had 2 14T's and then 2 24T's. Although there are visual similarities, there is a world of difference in safety and reliability and making firm bales in the 24T. For parts availability, you'd be better off by a long shot with the 24. Just check the price of a needle for the 14 vs 24 at your JD dealer. Many parts for the 14 are NLA.

I know nothing about the 214 and 224.

The next big improvement in JD balers was the 336. It kind of became the standard that others were measured against.

Then later, the 327 and the 328 which I think are still current production. They have had about 20 years of production. I currently have both the 327 and 328. The 328 has a wider pickup and more capacity. They are both very good balers.

old,
Your statement isn't exactly correct. Production of 14T's began in 1954. Then in 1957 214 production started and 14t's continued. 24T production started in 1962,then 24WS & 224 was added in 1964.

214 & 224 balers were each higher capacity than their little brothers the 14t & 24T.

Hello,
Would you by chance know what would cause a JD 336 baler to keep breaking needles...

If the plunger head stop is operating correctly the needles shouldn't get broken from baler being out of time. Are needles contacting upper bale case under knotter? Possible needle frame is warped from needles getting broken.

One time I saw where the plunger head arm wrist pin got loose inside PH and slide over and broke a needle.

Is front chain snug?
