I had a wire tie IH 47 baler. IH always knew how to make a wire tie baler work but until they went to the All Twine knotters on the 440 and 430 balers their twine knotters were problematic at best. To the point a lot of 37 and 47 balers had All Twine knotters retrofitted. My 47 baler was worn out - lots of slop in all the bearings and even the wedges were worn near smooth in the bale chamber - finally replaced them when I couldn't get a heavy bale no matter how much tension I put on it - everything was worn so smooth the hay just slid through. But in complete reversal of most IH balers I've been around - that thing ALWAYS tied. The only issue I would had was it was very picky about splicing the rolls of wire together - if you take the bales broke by the splice not feeding through I would run a couple thousand bales a year through it and not break a bale.
We eventually sold it - should have kept it as a backup. The 47 and older models were SLOW going through the field and some of my brome fields put out a lot of hay - to the point even with windrows less than a rake's width apart they were so big they barely fit into the pickup - and then you had to creep along riding the clutch to allow the baler to keep up - my old 350 farmall just wouldn't go that slow at PTO speed. It worked much better with an Allis D17. I would imagine a John Deere 214W to be similar to the 47W in capacity and operation.

Today's Featured Article - A Cautionary Tale - by Ian Minshull. In the early 1950s my father bought an Allis Chalmers B and I used it for all the row crop work with the mangolds and potatoes, rolling and the haymaking on our farm. The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
