Can anyone tell me the smallest and lightest
square baler made? My guess it was MFG in the 50's.

Thanks

It might be that the side kicker JD had the NH beat some. It was sure small

buy a small name brand, NH S69,compact 65, 273,, keep the knife really sharp, make small windrows, bale when hay is good and dry, and don't tension much during bale formation. thats it!

How about a NH 65. Used one for years. Dependable,easy to work on and you can still get most parts for them. the bale chamber is 12" x 16" as opposed to the standard 14" x 18" on most others. Makes a nice bale too. Can't push them too hard as the feeder carriage is chain driven and is protected with a 3/16 stove bolt in one of the links. The plunger is on rollers too. The were made in the early 70's I think but I could be wrong. Not too many around here in Ont. but they may be more common in horse country as the bales are light and perfect for the ladies (no male chauvanism intended) Good Luck.

The New Holland 66 baler works good with small tractors if it has the 2 cylinder Wisconsin engine on.

Bet you're not even close. :) Saw a red one that was even smaller, but don't remember the web site.

Thanks Paul.

Interesting!. Trouble is a 5000.00 investment for a 4 acre plot wouldn't be cost effective. I was thinking of somewhere along the lines of what was manufactured in the 50's. I can get a MF #12 baler for 150$ but they say it pounds the heck out of a Ford 8N tractor.

So I was wondering what was the smallest for that era.

Don't get to excited on those small balers. A neighbor of mine tried them all back in late fifties. He wanted to pto bale with Farmall SA. He came over one day hooked up to my NH Super 69 Hayliner. He used it and said he could bale more hay and faster with the S69 than any new one he had tried and he had tried the 66. Difference, S69 has a larger flywheel and the plunger is on rollers. The question is how much lighter can you build a baler? Answer is not much, as they all need to do the same functions.

Where did you get that $5000 figue for one of those balers? Another website, www.carverequipment.com, lists the same thing at $15,400!!! A lot to pay for a little baler! I'll agree that the NH 66 was probably one of the smallest ones, but there was a Ford I saw at an auction once (shoulda bought it) that was small and looked like it made a smaller bale. I don't know the number of it, sorry!
