Larry NE IL noticed what he thought were real heavy bales (or long ones). For you younguns, the Case wire tie 3-man baler only baled large bales compared to today"s balers. When I first saw a self-tie baler I laughed at the small bales it made...and now the bales from all balers are that size so nostly only us old geezers remember those large bales.

I did the tieing job on the right side of the baler, got a whopping 1/2 cent a bale on custom operation in the early 1950s and thought I was rich by late August. Hitting a hornet nest in the windrow was fun....3 guys plus the one on the wagon and the driver running around like a Chinese fire drill! And the dog thought we were having fun!
