Yup

Don't be shy, we're not going to judge you.
Although someone will probably tell you to buy a Deere.

I like those NH balers and have but well over 100,000 bales thru a few of them.

Not had a lot of issues with mine and easy to work on.

On the right hand side of baler....the drive for the 3 rollers is slipping. Is there a way to adjust this ?

What's slipping ? The rollers have a gear drive between them. On the right side the belt drives the tie mechanism.

I had a peek at our old baler. I assume you mean right hand when facing the front of baler.
There is a slip clutch on the main drive where the sprocket drives the main rolls on the balers left side. Take that clutch apart and repair if it's worn out. I'd be rather surprised as I've never had one slip.
Does it slip when turning over empty or with a full bale ?

Hooo boy, I had a similar issue with my 688. Thought it was the clutch as Rancid Crabtree mentioned. Turned out to be one of the gears on the rollers in that carrier was coming out - fair expensive fix as it chewed a few things up. Had to replace that roller and I think the carrier was damaged. That would be my thought. Selmac (whatever they are called now) was WAY out to lunch on the estimate. Went to Rimbey Implements and they fixed it for less than half of what Selmac was quoting.

Right side of baler went sitting in the tractor seat( passenger side.) clutch slips when about a 1/4 of a bale has started.

the rolls drive from the balers left by chain and sprocket.
I'm not envisioning a slip clutch on the right. I'll look again. Post a pic if you can.

There is a slip clutch inside the chain hub just did one a case rbx 562 which has the same sledge rollers cost $420 at dealership

I had a look. Your right slip clutch on the right main drive obviously mine has never slipped.
I don't think adjustable that I can see, just remove and replace I'd assume.
