Roto Baler serial number

gulfsuper · Nov 2, 2018

Hey everybody, looking for some info on a serial number on a 1948 roto baler. I recently pulled this baler out of a fence row in Brimson MO. the the serial number is 16759S. Does anyone know what the S designates?
I have had several balers but none have had a letter at the end of the number.

Sorry, serial number is 10675S.

10675 would be a 1948 model, second year of production. There was a distinction between standard and fast wrap, so maybe the "s" stood for standard?

Thanks for the reply. The fast wrap was introduced on the number 10 baler in 58 and was only used on about 750 regular balers in the early 60's. Standard makes sense but I have compared this baler to a 49 and 50 and can find no visible differences.

Question, was the "fast Wrap" the baler that had a separate overhead conveyer that ran
the hay in a loop while the twine was wrapped?
