I still have a IH 47 baler with a thrower in the shed. We made thousands and thousands of bales of hay and straw every year for our dairy cows. With a decent crop, it would take about 20 minutes to kick on a load of around 100 bales. Don’t use it anymore, but it no one wants it
As far as I know, New Idea built their own equipment. I have a Ford Mower and conditioner, that is the exact same unit, only painted blue. It's a slower machine than newer ones but we've used it for the past 30 years and did ok. As long as you don't expect too much. I finally bought a used New Holland, but haven't used it yes as I've had some health issues and let my neighbor do my hay lately.
Takes me back to 1985 in Eastern Colorado. My dad had a 37 international baler and an M. Although he never baled hay with the M, he used an international 340.
I have stacked hay behind JD, NH, AC, Oliver, NI, IH and Ford square balers, and all have their problems but the best experiences have always been when using New Holland but just my experiences.
My father had a 47 baler. The knitters would tie all day long then go into a fit of not tying for several bales in a row. We added a second brake to the knotter because the vibrations would cause the needles to move causing the safety dog to break shear pins on the flywheel.
Boy it takes a lot of hay to make a bale I am surprised how fast you can drive and it seems very evenly timed the M isn’t even beginning to sweat! What gear are you in ?😀🇨🇦
My father had a 46 T bailer. It was troublesome. We got a worn out (I still have it) 269 new holland and it worked better. We now have a 273 New holland and with plastic twine it rarely ever misses making a bale.
Theres no such thing as a good working baler I bought a new holland 69 hayline that was supposed to be field ready baled 3 balesnever baled another with it then bought 2 massey Ferguson 10 baler baled 62 bales chamber was hot as hell and stuck plunger then went out bought a 316 new holland that was field ready baled 54 bales I side of string is loose the other is perfect there all peaces of shit
@@phillipmaxfield7516 The M farmall we use cost $375. the wheel rake cost $120. the international drawbar mount sickle bar mower cost $110. The 273 new holland cost $425. and we have baled more that twenty years with those .
@@bradleamon4466 Possibly however the JD used the very same knotter system. So many where produced that parts are readily available. Easy to set the time and sharpen the knives ect. We now have 4 old new holland square bailes. I just bought a model 65 hayliner at a estate auction for $125. In real good cond hardly any wear. Havent tried to bale with it yet!
Just Subscribed Over the decades I have mowed a lot of acreage with M's and H farmalls with a drawbar mount sickle mower. I bought 555 hay bine for $100 had it 3 years nev er used it. sold it for $250.
