I spent lots of summers either running a 24T or loading racks behind a 24T. Yours makes a really nice dense bale from the looks of it! Yeah no live power isn't ideal but baled a lot with either a 1947 John Deere B and a mid 40's Minneapolis Moline RTU. I also recall baling oat straw for a neighbor with an older 14T, running it with his IH 656 gas with a TA, I can't belive how many bales I jammed out that day dropping them on the ground.

Conner, that rake was doing a good job raking 👍🏻, and the hay looked good too. Back in the day I looked at the back of a John deer bailer many days now at 70 my hay days are far and few lol 😂. Great video, and really nice camera work. Thanks Conner, God bless you. From Kentucky 😊.

I really hope that is what the problem is , good IH haybine there but they don't like holes or mounds of dirt do they , or any cutter bar really we had a old one that went on 3 point and i use to hate mowing with that , the belts would slip if the conditions were not right and we have brash ground full of stones it would break knives for fun , we eventually got a drum mower such a difference , but love that one you have and on land like you have they do a great job , Never seen many like yours here in England UK perhaps they were not sold much here back then , we had a Farmall M too used it on the baler which was a IH 430 , any IH tractors or machinery were I think always quality stuff , made well and built to last

I like that cutter. So much more going on than what used to be done here in Norway. Here it was basically just a bar with finger knives like where you had the issue and that’s it until we got the forage harvesters and then disc cutters for round baling later on. I can tell you this, yours do one heck of a lot better job than anything we had when I was little. :) I hope you restore this one.
