We had one of those old New Holland balers with the Wisconson engine on it waay back. If I remember correctly, we used it with the engine for a few years and then the Wisconson got too unreliable and we converted it to PTO drive with parts from a dead swather. I miss those days.

That's nice paint job you got on the Ford rims I mean you can barely notice that any of it's on the tire LOL

need to put something on the drive wheel rake is a good one just needs some work like the rest of your stuff need to hook wagon to baler not put them on ground saves a lot

Rake wheels are missing little studs that stick out so wheel slides not turning it. Probably wore off.

Interesting I'll have to look into that when I get a chance to work on it! But yeah it's baled and in the barn so can't complain!

Not bad.in a bale and in the barn

If they sell the new bar sickle there for it probably cut great I imagine brand new than things work pretty good cuz by piling up grass like that means it ain't cutting right it's probably just I never have understood the idea of and you see it everywhere so it's just not just here I mean it's just everywhere and it's just farm equipment sitting outside I mean it's like people think they just back up to it and it's just going to work just like brand new it's just I never have understood that and believe me it's everywhere I mean everywhere you look people got Farm Equipment tractors everything just sitting outside like the weather is going to do nothing to it and it's just it's just metal I don't do good with wet water and sitting down in the dirt in the grass it's just I just don't get it but whatever

Thanks for sharing. When I bought my baler it had steel wheels and was powered by a 2 cylinder wisconson engine. After a few years of that I was able to convert it to pto power and rubber tires. I didn't have a computor or a camera then so didn't do any videos of it but sure wish that I could have. It's the same baler that I'm still using. Posted a video with it doing 2nd cut a couple of weeks ago on my channel . I guess you could find it by searching "newtsfarm".
