I had experience with a 46 International bale Dad had bought back in the 70's, I spent a LOT of summers behind that baler but earned a lot of summer wages also, The one thing I remember about this baler was after Dad got it was the first summer was that it was constantly breaking the twine at the knots, I remember having the mechanic out from the dealership almost every time we baled, It would bale 5 to 7 bales and then break the next, I remember Dad and my uncle getting really up set, which you cant blame them, Then after all the time of having a mechanic out, my uncle, who was a Green owner and also a great mechanic himself, ended up taking the 46 down to his farm and completely disassembling the knotter system, low and behold, the underside of the knotter plate were 2 grooves worn on the under side where the twine ran. Uncle removed the plate and welded the grooves shut and ground everything nice and smooth,That baler almost never (kinda of a loose term) missed a bale after,
I remember in 75 Dad had started custom baling, That summer after the 4th of July, WE spent almost a month straight baling, Hay and straw both, Since Dad had the baler, which we pulled with a 68, wide front round fendered 806, Man I miss that tractor, anyway, I had the privilege of workin the racks, coz that was a hot summer and there was NO way I was goin to the barn LOL
I loaded my wagons, 100 to 105 bales, back then, I could stand at the front of the wagon and throw the bale over my head, overhand throw, facing the baler back to the stack ,on top, 5 high Can't do that any more!!! It was a great part of growin up on the farm!!!
