Hi There are several versions of those balers, I got an early one here Badged as an 8440 case IH with narrow(4" or so belts) It has 9 belts It's a pile of junk to use but it looks nice, it only has a buzzer and no monitor.
I wouldn't give it to you to bale with if it was the last baler on the planet and you were desperate. The later model has 6 wider belt and is supposed to be better from what I'm told
after a few years we got a custom guy in to do our 1500 straw bales. The early narrow belt ones need to be in the mood to bale straw if it's dry they won't start the bale, I'd hope they bale hay better, we just did straw here.
The manual tie is just work having to move the string across. Dad used to count in his head while moving the arm, and having to stop the pto to spit the bale out is not fun in heavy crops to if your getting bales every few 100 ft . unless you got a light hyd or electric switch pto disengagement lever on the tractor.
We baled with a Belarus with heavy mechanical lever It used to give your right arm a good work out. If you are doing 50 bales a year you might live with it.
2 years ago we went back to our own baling the custom guy had a 664 NH with auto tie, I borrowed that, then bought a NH 688. I would of gone mad messing with that case 8440. Thats why dad went to custom the truth be known.
Find out exactly which model it is and google search it our model comes up for sale and problems. There aren't to many good words about it in quick searches and it's built pretty light . I'm sure if Dad had the search options we have now he would of never bought it, reading the comments.
Regards Robert
