Brings back fond memory's. As a kid I would bale with1954 jd 430 and t24 baler with the Wisconsin motor. always had spare sheer bolts in the tool box. my dad worked and at age 8 I would go mow/rake/bale during my summers off from school. best times of my life.

You did a great job with both videos. There fun to watch.

Wow, I'd love to have an old John Deere setup like that and a couple of hay fields to work in. I envy you for that. Thanks for posting. Mike.

I like your video. I have put it in my favorites for my sun. I'm going to purchase my uncles McCormick model 46 baler with a Wisconsin engine. I have a '48 model B that I mow with. I have one video I have posted and this summer I will post more. Thanks for sharing your video. It's fun to watch and run this old equipment.

Makin' Hay! Gotta Love it! John

we had one of these..1968??? or older...but member the wisconsin motor and hand crank it...some of the bales were so heavy the twine would break...
-
I learned to bale with a 14T with a Wisconsin and a JD 50 in front of it. We still use a 24T with a #2 Kicker to make 4000 bales every year

Yes, it's a 48A. I really couldnt guess on the volume per acre. Our field is a very poor producer as it has not been properly taken care of in a while. Also there are horses that share the field now and graze in some of the better producing areas. Last year we invested in lime and fertilizer but that didn't do much. Really need to get some manure down and turn the whole thing over.

I've got a John Deere 24T that I'm going to be fixing up for next year, and I've still been trying to figure a couple things out. When you pulled up that lever after you were done, that kicks the unfinished bale out, right? Also, I was reading comments, you said you have been maintaining this for about 15 years? Just wondering where you go to get parts? Great video by the way! Love the older stuff!

Thanks man. I had fun makin them
-
Im pretty used to it. I think it was a pretty decent design for the times. The tongue weight on that thing is substantial with that Wisconsin engine sitting on the end and the majority of these balers weren't set up like that
-
Its an A. The G's have side by side intake/exhaust stacks among some other things.
-
Have never seen an engine driven baler like that before - Its all PTO drive machines here in Ireland
-
spectacular!!! was the press born with the motor or it is a change ?
-
4:30 - 4:40 the sound starts to get to you after a while dosent it?? great set up i want to get a 24T bailer to go with my John Deere B

Looks like y'all need a better hay rake. If I would have raked winrows like that and missed all that hay my grandpa would have beat the piss out of me
-
that grassy type hay doesn't pick up that good with straight tines, I changed mine over to the bent-end type and this seemed to help the matter
-
Working with those jacks you just think, "Whose dumbass idea was THIS?"

Wasnt there a video on you're channel that had a song kenny Cheney wrote?
