Here's some pics from a couple years ago of my son and father-in-law baling up some square bales with my old IH 37. Father-in-Law is giving my son some baling lessons.
After following behind a couple of those IH balers when I was a kid, I swore I never would own one in my life because of all the break downs the farmers I worked for had. Well, this one come up for $250 and my wifes family had one in the weeds for parts,so I thought I would give it a try. It was the best investment I ever made. A little welding on the bale chamber, new twine knives and a lot of grease and it has run like a champ. As you can tell from the pics it could use the plunger knives sharpened and clearances set, but a little fuzz on a bale doesn't bother me.
