New Holland had several "modern" balers out in the 50's and 60's. I can't remember the model number right off the top of my head but their first mass produced had a left hand pick up, backwards to everything else, maybe a model 77?? But the 66 came along pretty quick and made baling fun, even though it does have a wad board, you still see several around and working. I think they came out in the mid 50's. I don't have my New Holland baler book in front of me right now, but the dates aren't really important. I'm not familar with a W4, I'm assuming it doesn't have a live PTO if it has one at all. Your best bet would be to find a New Holland 68 or super 68 or maybe a John Deere 14t that is engine driven(they have there own seperate engine on the baler that powers it, usually a Wisconsin or the likes) so all your tractor has to do is pull the baler. Balers like this are out there and are workable. Just have to find one. If you've got a pto, well you can run a lot of newer balers, up to the 70's and 80's models. I've got a New Holland 273 that you can bale all day long with 30 or 35 hp. I've even baled with a New Holland 565(current model baler) with an old 1965 gas Ford 3000(about 35 pto hp), I wouldn't recomend it, but it works. Sorry for the long post, hope this helps. Casey
