Love all those uncovered shafts, belts and fly wheels. Men were men in those days. My uncle had a 50T, always had trouble getting the engine started. I Had a B46, 47 and a 440 in my time. They got more reliable with each model update. Got to love the music you got with these old movie clips.
Great seeing this we had a 3 wheel McCormick baler had a single wheel on front and hitch with the stationary engine I think it was a t45 crank start worked and great tie on the bales .🇺🇸🤔👍
we used a b46 and an mf 701 right until my father retired 10 years ago and both balers worked very well indeed despite their age . i found they worked better with the old type string opposed to the nylon stuff . great vid , thanks for posting :o)
Nice to hear someone else has done this , with the same balers , your sisal string tied better in the earlier knotters possibly because it was thicker diameter , I had to get British Ropes field engineer involved to get our Massey 124 to tie plastic string , some original parts were damaged or slightly bent , but it worked for many years afterwards , & very fast through the crop . Best sisal we used was Wahlbeck's Pressgarn , but could only get it for one summer . What engine did you have on your 701 ? , Happy Windrows .
the first baler I owned was an IH 45. Never did work very well. Second was a Case. Worked a little better but a lot of work to unjam hay from the pickup through the bale chamber. Last one was a Ford 532. This one was the best. Pretty much the same design as a New Holland. I still have it, but not used in a few years.
The 45 baler was a time consumer, the baler missed so many knots, so you spent ground time redoing the knots, I had one with a WD allis chalmers, the normal baling time per 80 bale load averaged one hour in field.
so many ways to pick up bales bale thrower is ok if u have lots of wagons or 3 men handling and driving but who has 3 men usually it's 1 or 2 if ur lucky the method in the video has been modified to were hydraulics live bales to make a stack on the wagon with one man and piled into a bigger stack without touching a bale or use a loader grab to lift 8 bales onto and unload from the wagon and stack one man not touching bales except to straighten up bales in the stack one man
Looks like haying season at my farm. Mow with a j I case 475 mower conditioner rake with a farmall 200 and 2 point fast hitch rake and bale with a McCormick 46 baler .
it's spelled "baling" "baler." "bales" "baleage", bale being root word, not bail LOL. Sounds like english class all over again. Whenever our 46 had problems, we would borrow my uncle's 45. I dreaded seeing that machine come into the yard because dad wouldn't change its settings, it made monstrously long heavy bales compared to the settings on our 46.
I love that dog running around.

Part of my life. I baled hay with a similar McCormick baler in the 1950s. It had a small engine in front instead of power take-off from the tractor.
I love these old Equipment.
Thanks for upload 👍 👍 👍

Very cool video. Makes me wish it was summer and I could bale hay.

baler was nothing special loose bales
How much longer did it take someone to realize if you hooked a wagon up behind the baler, you could eliminate that truck and conveyor. LOL
ive falln off a haywagon 5 layers high on a rough field
@@arthurdewith7608, I remember, sitting on top of 5 high one time, going up a hill...and the back support broke off..lol...went head over heals

Good heavy hay even way back when
loose hay was much easier on the back to handle the worst invention was the small square baler and the best was the big round bales

What type of international pick-up truck was shown in the film? The little blue one.
Nice video thanks!
I hooked loads of hay off a IH#46
Bitchen loader that attached to the truck for 1950s.
