JD #10 baler was a high density sq baler that manufacture began in '63. I think they were sold mainly where Alfalfa was grown and I've never seen one of them.

JD side drop models were 114W & 116W
I saw one years ago. My dad worked for a JD dealer here and they brought one here to demo. Never sold any here as far as I know. One place they demoed at said they loaded hay trailer to noarmal height and blew a tire. In my area, most people bale with 3 twine balers, and more going to big bales. buyers compress the bales again to load in containers for export.
They are real but rare. During peak of production JD sold 99 units in 1964. I think its safe to say there are less then a 1,000 for sure and maybe even 500 ever made. Didn't go over too well. They did have a 95 stroke plunger speed under load which you never saw again from JD until the 466 series balers in the 70s.
I know my figures were just a guess as to amounts. You confermed tho what I was trying to get at and that was to make a very tight heavier than normal bale to save space. I would think the hay had to be dryer than normal baling because a very tight normal bale will spoil faster that a normal squesed bale at moisture that will keep in normal bale.

They had one at the show in Fairview OK a few years ago, even baled a little straw with it. We looked at the bales but they were pretty loose so tension must have been loose also. Brought one bale home just for a novelty but finally got tired of working around it and used it. It was kinda cute. Wire tied, of course.
