Kelly: I don't know just how excited I would get about an IH 241 or 2400 baler at this point in history. They are now 25 to 30 years old and like me most of them are probably over the hill. I often wished I had bought round baler that made 4x5 bales rather than the 5x6. The smaller ones pack better on a truck if your shipping them anywhere. Anything you go to lift, it doesn't matter whether it be a front end loader or 3 point lift, the closer you can keep your weight to the tractor the better. When I bought the 241 I debated quite a while as to whether it was the right move. I had been running a New Holland S-69 with thrower for close to 16-17 years. When I thought IH baler all I could visualize was the old IH 45 and all the troubles it gave. I didn't particularly like the idea of the NH round baler as I thought those chains would be just a source of unecessary noise as it got older. I procrastinated quite awhile on that one. By that time my farm was probably a 70% silage feeding system. Just had to get rid of the square bale labour or the lack of it. There are numerous balers out there working on the principle of using low hp. I am not going to make any suggestions as I am out of touch, with what is good and what is not. I really can't see any need of any big round baler requiring big hp. I guess the only reason I can think of is to sell big hp. Amazing how we got it all done when Farmall M was a big tractor. If you do happen by chance to find a good old 241 and the price is right. I have my original operators manual, I'll never use it now, send me an e mail, with your mailing address, if you need the manual. I may cross the lakes and the states to deliver.

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
