The international 440 baler has to be equivalent to my jd 338 baler. The pickup is nice and wide and a very heavy built bale for sure. If mother nature is nice Baling straw is usually one of my summer favorites. Look like you had plenty of straw and very clean to bale

338 is way more baler. Way more. Even a 328 would run rings around a 440.

Greetings from Florida. Oh my goodness! The memories of doing chores on a small Ohio farm as a youngster! Thanks much for the post.

Looks like a good match of tractor and baler. A handheld hay hook is a really useful tool for pulling bales off the chute.

I tried to get my grandson to use one but he preferred to grab them by hand. It was his first time on the wagon so next year he may know better.

@@rogermiller7411 Hay bales are much heavier than straw bales so that might be the deciding factor.
