When I was 12 my parents had been in an accident and were disabled but did not know it. We put this system in an old barn with a high eve. Well they were not mechanical and here is where the problem started. They purchased a IH 27 baler with a bale kicker I do not know about the other two that were sold in America but ours was a piece of junk never would tie on the inside knotter and then the bale kicker would screw up. Now I am 54 and could time a 27 knotter with a blindfold and my hands tied behind my back. Things get worse you see Eastman wanted to try a knew twine you guessed yet it was plastic matter of fact 42 years later some is still laying out in the pasture lurking waiting for a chance to wrap around the bulls foot ( another story). Since the cheap feed system on the 27 would never put up a square bale and then the bale kicker would bend the bale a little more we had a mess before we got to the barn. When the bale reached the top of the elevator ready to fall over on the horizontal it would turn cross ways and this dumb 12 year old would climb up 50 feet and turn the bale. Now that I have had a good laugh the key is like everything else a good solid square bale. Also, our bottom elevator was too steep making the bales roll back instead of over some time. The bales look like a disaster but if a good bale they will be ok. I can say the last year we used it we put up 6600 bales with the old IH and then this recently hired Ag teacher bought a new 850 NH. The old 27, I gave it away.
