I have three balers 1. NH 78 and 2 IHC 46s 1 twine 1 wire. I have been all week getting them ready for the season. Got the last parts for the pickup on the NH 78 and put it all back together got the Hydraulic bale tension unit working and set it at 250lb. (not a good idea) the first bale was so heavy I could hardly move it about. so reset tension to 100 lbs now the bale weighed 72 lbs that's a little better. I would like 75 to 80 from this baler.
I cleaned greased and got the IHC 46 twine baler ready to test and the right knotter wouldn't knot. so I took a look Yup the little piece that holds the twine to tie the knot didn't drop down a little oil sharpened the knife and she's tying them right and left. 35 lb bale though OOPs! forgot to tighten the bale tension down. Well you can't remember everything at my age.
Anyway it looks good I will work on the wire baler this week and hope for the best never worked on one of those just hauled many a bale from them as a kid.
Next thing is get the Massey Harris Mower-conditioner ready get the new blade put together an stored ready for when the one in it breaks.
Also look at the Old hay rake and see if it needs any attention.
Ain't this farming fun.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
