A lot of memories. I grew up in Southwest Ohio and there was a young man who lived on a farm with his family. He had just come home from the army and started doing custom baling. He had the same set up and he put up a lot of bales that summer. It was my introduction to the hand clutch on a WD 45. Great tractor and baler. Thanks for the memories.
My father here in Northwest Iowa had a setup like this as well. One summer he baled 10,000 bales and picked them All up with a pitchfork then threw on to a hay rack!!( usually a weight of 60 to 80 lbs each)
@@corerlt It is even unbelievable to me how great a shape my dad was in. Another example: Boot camp for him was in his words "a breeze" AFTER spending half the previous fall and Winter picking corn by HAND(off the stalk and Ground) the Army 'kicks' could not believe it either!

Has sisal twine changed that much ?
I guess so. They said new twine wouldn't work right.
