- This video turned out great. Good record, good filmstrip. Easy conversion. Absolutely love the illustrations in this one. It was nice to hear about the fabled 24 baler. I've seen plenty of them at work & they seem to do a great job. Always liked the idea of the ejector vs rollers or belts.
Hope you folks enjoy this as much as I did.
Regards
Those were and still are good balers. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed!!
this video reminds me of the John Deere Days we used to go to. They played these educational movies to their customers and had pancake and sausage to eat. Good times!
My dad had one of these. Pulled it with a 3010 gas standard tractor. Bailed over 6000 bales every summer for our dairy cows. Long hours stacking bales on the wagon. Always tried to convince dad to buy the ejector, told me that was my job.
I had one a few years ago as a back up to my 346. Great machine.
Is there much of a capacity difference between the two?
@@ikonseesmrno7300 yes. The 346 runs more strokes per minute. But you couldn't tell the difference in the bales they made. I wish I still had the 24. It wasn't eating anything and worked perfectly. If it had a pickup as wide as my 346 I would have kept it. I have a hard time baling straw behind these new combines with the 346 let alone the 24.
I baled 372 bales with my old 24t last summer. It only missed tying 1 bale when it switched balls of twine. Not bad for a machine that is over 50 years old.
Nothing beats old, die hard equipment.
Spent many hours behind a 24t stacking wagons... now our neighbor has it and it's still going
Always a good thing to hear that the older equipment is still holding up.
Back in the 60's and 70's, most small farms didn't have machinery storage, barns were more for animals and crop storage. What room was available was used for tractors, combines and planting equipment. Hay equipment was tarp covered and in humid Michigan, Mother Nature was rough on equipment out in the weather. Our 24T was well worn, plunger guides, movable and stationary knives were worn and the twine tie area was also wore out. Now that I'm more experienced, all those items would be easy replacement parts.
Yeah, I think my grandpa was an exception to that rule. Almost everything had to be stored inside. Even when he worked at AO Smith, he rented out a garage close to the factory. The only thing I recall sitting out was the loader for the H, the snow blade for that, the tumble scraper & the hog trailer. Everything else was inside, including the spreader. That 4A spreader still had paint on the iron when it went for scrap. Fortunately, the scrapper rehab'd it & sold it to the Amish.
eww JD 😂😂 love the old time videos.
My favorite thing about these video is the attachments that I never knew were available. They missed the stock cutter head you can put on the 24T. It allows you to make corn stock bales in one pass.
Used one for many years until I bought a 336 with hydraulic thrower, got real good at hitting the wagon on corners or the end of the windrow. The #2 thrower was a mechanical thrower, tough on the aluminum pans, most pans were either cracked or rewelded when you found a used one.
I've often wondered if I could adapt a No. 2 to my 47 baler. The chamber should be the same size, though it would have to be reinforced. I think that setup would be the cats tail.
@@ikonseesmrno7300 From the ones I remember that were off balers from 20 years ago, I wouldn't bother or spend money on them, they were well used (junk).
@@kswaynes7569 Good point. I think the newer ones are hydraulic, with a self contained system. Don't know how that would work in terms of modding it onto my baler.
@@ikonseesmrno7300 Yes, a hydraulic pump runs off the flywheel with 2 - V belts and the top tipping devise is the supply tank. Might be better to find a decent JD 336 or newer baler already set up.
@@kswaynes7569 If my 47 ever gives up the ghost, I just might go that route. How are the knotters to maintain?
We had a 14t it was all work
They were a rugged machine.
We had one in the 60's with a bake thrower.
*bale
Still use my 24t use the square bales for emergency hay and to feed and bed calves just wish I could find a wagon hitch the one I have is a late model but I remember when my father bought a new one in the early 60s I was just a little boy I'm still fascinated when I run it I've owned a fue new Holland's but just have a thing for the 24t behind my 3020 thanks for the video
Glad you enjoy! You can do a dismantled machine search on Tractorhouse. As of right now, there are 44 24T balers listed in the parts section. Hopefully one is close to you.
@@ikonseesmrno7300 yes I look at those it's a bit expensive to ship I've been looking for a scrap machine in my area for a fue years now thank you for the replay

@@TomBiggerstaff-gn1ws If you would like, you can ask by posting a question on the Yesterday's Tractors forum. There are a bunch of people that live in that Tn.-Va. area who might know where to find one for cheap. It's worth a shot if anything.
