Available in Muncy, Pennsylvania, this New Holland 570 baler is being offered for $10,000. The seller describes it as a really good baler, reports that it has always been barn kept, and has replaced all of the bearings in the plunger—an especially relevant maintenance item on a conventional square baler where plunger alignment and smooth operation are important to consistent bale formation.

The New Holland 570 earned a strong following among hay producers as a higher-capacity conventional small square baler. Factory literature identifies the 570 as a 14×18-inch baler designed for mid-size baling operations, using New Holland's Super-Sweep pickup and rotary feeding system to handle substantial windrows while maintaining consistent crop flow.

New Holland 570 Baler Built for Serious Small-Square Hay Production

For producers still putting up conventional square hay, the 570 occupies a useful position between smaller older balers and the wider, heavier high-capacity machines.

New Holland equipped the 570 with a 65-inch inside-width Super-Sweep pickup, widening to approximately 70 inches at the flare. The pickup uses 110 teeth across five tooth bars, giving the machine a substantial crop-gathering area for windrowed grass hay, alfalfa, mixed forage, or straw.

Behind the pickup is New Holland's rotary feeding system. On the 570, a packer fork works with two paired rotors to move crop into a published 283-square-inch feed opening. New Holland designed this arrangement to provide a more even flow of material into the bale chamber and help produce consistently shaped bales across changing crop conditions.

14×18 Small Square Bale Format

Published New Holland specifications show the 570 producing the traditional 14×18-inch small square bale, with bale length adjustable from approximately 12 to 52 inches. This familiar bale format remains popular where individual bales need to be handled manually, stacked in barns, loaded onto wagons, sold by the bale, or fed individually to livestock.

That makes a used New Holland 570 particularly relevant for:

• Horse-hay operations
• Dairy and beef farms
• Sheep and goat farms
• Hay sold directly to customers
• Straw production
• Small and mid-size commercial hay operations
• Farms wanting manually manageable bales
• Producers using bale wagons or other small-square handling systems

Actual bale weight varies substantially with crop type, moisture, bale length, density setting, and operating conditions.

High-Capacity Plunger and Feeding System

The 570's published specifications list a 30-inch plunger stroke operating at approximately 93 strokes per minute at rated PTO speed. New Holland used high-strength steel in the plunger assembly and designed the plunger to operate on sealed ball-bearing rollers and wear-resistant slides.

That makes the seller's report that all plunger bearings have been replaced particularly worth noting. It should not be interpreted as a complete baler rebuild or complete plunger overhaul, but it does represent maintenance to an important high-cycle component of the machine.

Prospective buyers should still inspect plunger alignment and clearance, knife condition, bale chamber wear, feeder timing, pickup components, chains, sprockets, and the tying mechanism as part of their normal pre-purchase evaluation.

Pickup and Crop Flow

The 570 uses the 65-inch Super-Sweep pickup, an eight-rod floating windguard, a semi-pneumatic pickup gauge wheel, and a belt/chain pickup drive arrangement. New Holland's brochure also describes a “lost motion” pickup drive that allows the pickup to be backed up without damaging the teeth.

For a farmer searching for a small square baler for sale, these crop-flow components matter because dependable baling depends on much more than the knotters alone. Even pickup feeding, correct feeder timing, proper plunger clearance, and correct bale-chamber adjustment all contribute to consistently formed bales.

PTO and Tractor Requirements

Published factory literature specifies a Category 6 three-joint PTO driveline for the 570 and lists a 62-horsepower minimum tractor recommendation for the base baler. New Holland also specifies shear-bolt, overrunning-clutch, and slip-clutch protection in the driveline.

Actual tractor requirements should be evaluated according to terrain, crop conditions, baler configuration, whether a wagon is being pulled, and tractor weight and braking capability. New Holland specifically notes that tractor weight should exceed baler weight when considering the published requirement.

The complete factory information can be reviewed in the New Holland square-baler brochure.

Twine or Wire Configuration

The 570 was factory-offered in twine-knotter or wire-twister configurations. Published capacities were six balls of twine or four coils of wire, depending on the version.

The seller has not specified which tying configuration is installed on this particular baler, so buyers should verify whether this machine is twine tie or wire tie before purchase.

Regardless of configuration, buyers evaluating a New Holland square baler should inspect the tying system under operating conditions whenever practical. Knotter or twister condition, needles, timing, billhooks or twister components, tension settings, and drive components can significantly affect performance.

Barn-Kept Storage

One of the strongest seller-reported details on this machine is that it has always been barn kept.

Indoor storage is especially desirable on older hay equipment because the pickup, chains, sprockets, bearings, tying system, bale chamber, sheet metal, driveline, and adjustment hardware contain numerous components that can be exposed to weather deterioration when machinery is stored outdoors.

Barn-kept history does not eliminate normal wear, but it is a meaningful consideration when comparing used hay equipment of similar age.

Practical Used Hay Baler in Pennsylvania

For buyers searching for a hay baler for sale in Pennsylvania, this New Holland 570 combines a respected conventional small-square design with two meaningful seller-reported advantages: long-term indoor storage and replacement of the plunger bearings.

The factory 14×18 bale format, 65-inch pickup, rotary feeding system, and 93-stroke-per-minute plunger make the 570 suitable for producers who need more capacity than many older conventional balers while retaining the familiar small-square bale package.

The asking price is $10,000, and the baler is located in Muncy, PA.

Trustworthy Equipment LLC is marketing this unit on behalf of the seller and can help connect qualified buyers with the appropriate party. Nationwide transportation assistance may be available through independent transportation providers.

Buyers are encouraged to inspect the baler, confirm its tying configuration and included equipment, and verify the specifications and operating condition important to their individual hay operation.
