@@Diviance the vibration is quite bad, perhaps if you lose it every day it probably wouldn't have done you much good. But I used it pretty much continuously for an hour, and had no I'll effects the next day. However on the other side of things, I used the modern equivalent which is the BCS the the one I was using had a single cylinder diesel engine fitted to it. And because it had so many levers, handles, controls and everything was pretty hard to pull. And there was no real reduction in vibration. I actually found that quite a lot harder to use for an hour. I also used one that you could buy at b&q, more recently. The little petrol engine on. And the vibration of that is actually a lot worse... Especially for something that was made within the last year or so. It's very cheaply made... To the point where it's not able to adjust the belt that drives the blade. Sorry doesn't last very long. The only anti vibration you have on that one is a piece of flat rubber between the two parts of a handle. Because that's just held together with two bolts, the whole arrangement flaps around in the breeze... But getting that you original point.. The other side was designed to do a job and the most part it did it very well. There Is a huge number of critics... But they did seldom worldwide from the 1930s right up to 1970's... Originally designed in the 1920s... I did make quite a few improvements over the years... I need a thought if they weren't that good they wouldn't have sold very many or at least certainly not for that amount of time.. The only thing I wouldn't really want to use it on is either a very steep Hill, or a crossways on a steep bank, there were wide axle versions but I haven't got mine working yet... Otherwise they tended to roll down the hill. I've got one that's done that in the past and one of the wheels has been repaired. Anyway enough waffling from me....

@@Kenneth-cf2eh yes I do I forgot that.. Also got orchard sprayer, generator, cylinder mower and hay sweep but they didn't come with this machine.

@@PandaJ sweet...

@@Kenneth-cf2eh got a few different ones....

Or put one man on the tractor and one on the hay rack.

I'll message the chaps

Hook a hay rack on behind the baler.

Similar to a cooks bale sledge,

Wooden sledge pre dates both

That's how they used to do it

@@PandaJ Takes me back to the sixties, nice to see you having a go anyway.

How big are the North American trials combines ?

@@PandaJ oh i guess if we are only talking of trial machines then the Sampo is one of the larger machines

@@philippetays4263 It does say trials in the title lol

@@PandaJ yes i was not paying attention, just so used to seeing monster type machines

Why not just use a hay rack?

@@corerlt the reason it was done like this is that the small stacks stayed in the field until one had time to haul them home, like after harvest.

@@philippetays4263 Just in timefor the next cutting and by that time they were wet and mouldy and the strings were rotting.....

@@corerlt here in western Canada especially 50-60 years ago , only one cut a year, humidity 20 to 40 % and like this year less tan 4 inches of rain since April they won't get moldy

I don't think so I will ask them when I next see them

we used a bar to help pry the bails off the sled, super dusty though

The problem here is that they didn't put a hay rack on behind the baler.

South East of England, UK

Indeed it is!

Have long since been swapped around

In fairness it was the first time he had used it, and the engine had quite a few issues including throttle related.

dj r where in the world are you?

@@PandaJ I live in South Carolina. USA

@@djr2368 fancy posting a video of yours sometime?

I actually don't have a KZbin account to post things on. I have a video on my phone of my Jukebox playing I would like to send it to you but not sure how to do that without one of us leaving our email address here. Are you on Facebook? I could send it to you on Fb messenger if you want to share your Fb info here. My Jukebox is the same as yours. I have had it since the early 1990's. The glass has been replaced and the middle section is just a black panel in the middle with the colorful panel missing and was this way when we bought it. Other than those 2 things it is exactly like yours. If you can think of a way I can send you the video without either of our personal info being made public please let me know. BTW Yours looks and sounds fantastic!!

@@djr2368 oh ok, well I'll have to have a think and let you know

Hello I have a Drayton, it came to a sudden halt, what parts have you got?

The engine was "rebuilt" some years previous most of the bolts had been stripped sadly
