International 440

I had a 440,it had a lot of capacity, but the best thing was those rubber mounted teeth on the pick up,it cleaned up the field real good !
 
The NH 283 would have more capacity. Also parts are ten times easier to get. IH square baler parts are quite expensive.
 
I grew up running a 283 and then it was my first baler I owned grandpa gave it to me in high school leaned everything I know about knotters working and cursing at that thing finally got it to tie good but then it would always make banana bales then I gave up on it and went to college and went to work out of town didn?t have time to worry about balers and didn?t have a swather or rake and hay was cheaper to buy than put up so I just bought hay for the cows . I worked at a new Holland dealer with a good baler man and he told me what to do to make flat bales it was always in my mind to get it fixed again but I had it parked behind the barn at my dads and the barn burned up Burning the baler with it scrap was over 200$ a ton then and the baler got sent to its final doom
 
No. However,the old 50;55;56'and 57 balers made an 'oddball' 15x19" bale.I still have a functional 55w. at 50 spm it's pretty slow.
 
I was pretty happy with the way this thing worked mistied 4 bales two I had got the tension to tight and the twine broke and there is a fair chance the twine in it is as old as I am and then two the twine hung up on the bill hook . As far as I know this baler hasn?t moved or ran in almost 20 years or more
 
A 440 is more comparable to a 276 New Holland - they came out about the same time too. After half arsing for years IH finally got serious when they produced the 440 with the All Twine knotters. Until then John Deere and New Holland ate their lunch.
