We use all older equipment to make hay on 13 acers. Only thing new is the tedder. Otherwise our equipment is prior 1969. 1954 super c, 1969 new holland 469 haybine, 1962 IH 37 baler and 2 hay racks prior to 1950. Our tedder is 2024. Were getting a hay elevator and that's like 1968. I'd have to look again at it. I'm going to bale 3 acers of alfalfa / grass mix in a couple hours. It is very doable and makes you appreciate what we have today.
I remember when I was young, I used to stay with my Aunt & Uncle in Maine. They had a small farm. I loved hay season, it was a lot of work but I loved working with the tractors and the bailers. And bucking those bails what a work-out. They too had their share of mechanical problems. But always got the hay in. Plus I loved my Aunt & Uncle. Hard word, but I made me feel good.
I have the same memories with my Pap. My husband would love to sell all the equipment and just buy hay, but I want to do those memories justice, they’re special for sure.
Nice job and good lookimg hay., just push the shifter into neutral instead of pushing the clutch in if you get big bunches with the H and let the pto keep going. Much harder on it and the clutch to push the ram when the chamber is full of hay starting from dead stopped.
Just subscribed. We decades ago had a 46T international and it was trouble some. Then we got a worn out New holland 269 and it worked better. We still have it. Then we scored a really good new holland 273 and it bails perfectly using plastic twine. Once I was bailing with a WD allis. Blew up the PTO gears and had to bale the remainder with a Super C Farmall. Same thing as with your H it had a difficult time with thick windrows. We have a H and several other letter Farmalls. We also have a junked bailer the same model as yours. Parts are available from it. If you want we could do a video of that junk bailer.
Thank you! We used an International 47 Demonstrator to vet the summer and it worked great! I had hopes that the 440 would be as nice. The letter series tractors really are just the best. Sure they’re aren’t as expensive powerful as more modern tractors, but man they’re reliable. I’d love to see your 440! Tag me if you do a video.
There are a few really good knotter tuning videos on youtube. I think one is a guy called the Knotter King or something like that because he repairs knotters for a service.
So happy to see you were able to get your hay done. Sorry about your tractor I hope the issue is easily resolved. Love the Farmall, your son did a great job, tractor looks great!
Our neighbor has an M. It’s a fantastic tractor. He uses it for all his farming needs. I think he said his grandfather bought it new and it never left the farm.
I pulled a Hayliner 268 for years. Every winter we would go through it. It was low and flat across the top. It was easy to see over with the Ford Dexta I pulled it with. Like we put up thousands of bales every summer.
I think the hayliners are just the best little balers. And they definitely evoke fond memories from all who have used them. The super 66 is another story lol.
Hey folks while your sitting and watching a good video ,, hit the subscribe button , it don’t cost you anything, but it helps her out so she can make more quality videos for you to enjoy😊😊😊
@@Anarchyacresfarmstead LOl I miss those days on the farm. Thank you for sharing your experience. It is so nice to see your kids excited about the farming lifestyle.
@Anarchyacresfarmstead used one in the 80's.similar trouble with knotter.lots of adjusting and trial and error. Even repair guy had a time getting to tie correctly..also,watch slip clutch on pick-up drive.
@@bikerhighmiler8998 thanks! Ya I think it will take a lot of banging my head off a wall. We used a international 47 Demonstrator this summer and I was hoping the 440 would be as nice of a baler.
Mis respetos y mis felicitaciones a usted Sra. Por su trabajo. No hay mujeres así hoy en dia. Que estén dispuestas a trabajar en los Campos y menos con tractores y maquinaria agrícola de hace mas de 70 años. Tengo acá en CHILE un Farmall MD de 1948. Saludos desde Ovalle Chile...👍👍👍👏👏👏...
they nh 69 is a better baler then the ih.. and yes knotters in baler pretty much stayed the same.. like on jd from 24t to 346 knotters are same.. great job on balers..
@@Anarchyacresfarmstead i got a ih few years ago n i couldnt get it to tie.. and i can get any other baler brand to do its job cept ih.. i hope you can figure it out..
