Kelly: I don't know just how excited I would get about an IH 241 or 2400 baler at this point in history. They are now 25 to 30 years old and like me most of them are probably over the hill. I often wished I had bought round baler that made 4x5 bales rather than the 5x6. The smaller ones pack better on a truck if your shipping them anywhere. Anything you go to lift, it doesn't matter whether it be a front end loader or 3 point lift, the closer you can keep your weight to the tractor the better. When I bought the 241 I debated quite a while as to whether it was the right move. I had been running a New Holland S-69 with thrower for close to 16-17 years. When I thought IH baler all I could visualize was the old IH 45 and all the troubles it gave. I didn't particularly like the idea of the NH round baler as I thought those chains would be just a source of unecessary noise as it got older. I procrastinated quite awhile on that one. By that time my farm was probably a 70% silage feeding system. Just had to get rid of the square bale labour or the lack of it. There are numerous balers out there working on the principle of using low hp. I am not going to make any suggestions as I am out of touch, with what is good and what is not. I really can't see any need of any big round baler requiring big hp. I guess the only reason I can think of is to sell big hp. Amazing how we got it all done when Farmall M was a big tractor. If you do happen by chance to find a good old 241 and the price is right. I have my original operators manual, I'll never use it now, send me an e mail, with your mailing address, if you need the manual. I may cross the lakes and the states to deliver.

Talk of the Town: Winterizing Engines - To Drain or Not to Drain? - by Russ Berry. What is this strange attraction I have to equipment and machinery? How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
