I’ve seen several hay presses but never one that works that I can remember of so to see an IH is awesome. Thanks for sharing and hope you have a blessed blessed and week ahead.

Hi!, I'm sure glad you liked it! I was trying the interview type of video, I figured that the operator/owner would know more about the machinery than I would. I have watched these work over the years but I have been very backward about walking up and asking about it. I'm working on my style! I think we got a good primer on how these work! Thanks for watching!

@@Recommended_by_Fred I’m starting a series on old equipment that I see when I travel and I still get shy about walking up to people so I know what you mean.

We have a belt driven one and run it every year!

He was talking about this one being driven by a belt at one time. It had the wrong sized pulley and it would go way too fast I guess they had engine driven ones and belt ones.

I think he did a great job telling about the operation of the machine, I had an idea how it worked but now I know.
