What can anyone tell me, about this baler? All I can tell you, it"s a single twine. Your help, and advice, is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Bruce.
 
Gonna be a lot of people tell you,closed throat baler,hard to run,stay away from it,yada yada yada. Truth is it's a good baler. Has the roller in the bottom instead of the table belt,air over hydraulic tensioning instead of springs. Not hard to run at all once you bale a few bales. Just an older version of the 1475 that I have. I baled Wednesday for the first time this year,so I was taking it easy. Started at 1:40 in the afternoon,by 4:50 I had rolled 109 bales. No reason that 1460 won't roll hay just as fast.
 
I had come across this baler, it is being sold, privately, the belts, are a little tough, but he says, he has other belting, for it, along with moniter, and the spliceing tool. Hasn"t been used, for about 10 years, as he went out, of the dairy cows. Always had been stored, inside. Most I"d put through a round baler, would be 30, to 40 acres, a year, of my own hay, might do a little custom work.
 
I've done so much custom work with the old 1500 and the 1450 you wouldn't believe it. By the mid 80s most everybody had their own baler,but that 1460 should more than do the job for you.
 
I think we had a 1470, my uncle and grandpa did quite a bit of traveling for a few years, til everyone else got their own.

My uncle did most of the baling. He'd run it a little slow til he was full then run it faster to tie, it seemed to pull the bale a little tighter that way.
