The 'Big Girl' baling using a 1967 Jones Super Start T (twine). Another faultless performance!

Not too many rpm otherwise the tractor will throw that little baler across to the corner of the field! The blue Jones baler was a very well made bit of kit,we had them in Wales because they were made in Wrexham and it made us feel patriotic,but they were a good baler for the smaller farmer. I have owned a roadless 4wd which I had converted with a Trader 6 but with a purpose made axel carrier,new pressed bonnet and extended propshaft. It was a great tug but had no live drive, Oh yeah I confess I loved the sound of the 6 on the road,and the great looks you got,but my DB 1394 could do a lot more being a much more modern machine so I ler the ford go to some chaps in the timber down in Llandovery. The very skilled talented and compedent agricultural engineer D Price and son of Oakle Street nr Gloucester build up my Roadless 6 in 1987 and I sold her in 1989,;often wonder did/has she been preserved?

1 fault with major was the high geared Pto (probably helped with fuel economy they are known for) meaning the 4cyl lacked power where you couldn't rev it past 540 , 6cyl you have sorts that problem

[@simonworman7898]

despite my earlier comment,this is true, bearing in mind that pre super major they all belonged to an age that PTO power required was mostly low

Was the grass cut with a cutter bar mower?

We had the same baler but painted orange and badged "Allis Chalmers 300". A good old baler, well made but The Claas Maximum we had at the same time would run rings around it.
