I thought for a start this was just in Canada, but when I got a manual from IH, this is how it shows it. Re. Twine; I purchased mine from NYP Corporation, and although it was in smaller balls than originally, (5 lbs per ball) it was lovely stuff and very high quality. I thought getting good twine might be hard, but this stuff is all you could ask for. Living up in Canada made shipping expensive. (Got a bale of 10 balls) but I only used a couple of balls so will last a while. Best, R. BTW, Here is a pic. of the crop it cut, if it comes out this time!! [Reply]  [No Email]

As far as the twine, you can find binder twine if you check enough farm supply outlets. Last summer, we just hung a 5 gallon bucket off the back of the binder, used 1600 baler twine. One of my friends pays an Amish to rewind 1600 baler twine into smaller balls. Seems like extra work to me. We raise a field of oats to take to our local steam show for thrashing. Now pretty experienced with binder operation...... [Reply]  [No Email]

And the reason I got him the bearings is I could handle things to get through customs where the Amish man that made the bearings did not have the ability to do that. [Reply]  [No Email]
