I have posted this before but will post again. These old ih balers need to run slow they will tie alot better. I use a m farmall and run it about a third of the way open if hay is dry it will take a nice size windrow and keep up with most any of the other balers. They also will make as nice a bale as any baler. Most of the time if the baler is missing knotts it is the twine knifes that aren,t set right or are not sharp. They need to be set to cut all the twine or it will untie the knotts. Check the twine bills for wear if they have a grove worn in them they need to be replaced. They can be gotten at the ih dealer as well as or knotters parts.

I currently use a 37 twine baler now. I bought it for 500.00, it will miss about 6 bales for every 200, I can live with that. Some parts are still available from dealer, needles,p/u teeth, etc..I'm in Pa.

In my neck of the woods (SW VA) you are lucky to find a rusted out baler of any make for under $500. Seems the horse folks prefer square bales and I think that is driving the price up.

Search this site for IH balers and you will find some interesting reading.

I think that with a little patients an IH baler may be OK. As for parts, I assume this thing is right old, that may be an issue - but I really don't know.

Good luck,
Bill

Paul, where are you in SW VA? My wife's from Wise, she has an aunt with horses in Lee County as well.

Pretty country, seems to be mostly Ford tractors out there and a lot of old New Holland balers.

Eric

In the Northeast, a good 37 with no kicker would bring 400 - 700.

junk

uncle had for years - always needed another guy to ride on the baler and tie the bales- his was a 37

we had a 46 - would miss a lot sometimes

I have a 430 and after I had an old guy tell me what he had to do and had him fix it I wouldn,t trade for all the New Hollands and john Deeres in the world It really eats the hay and makes a nice bale. But the secret was in having someone who knows what was wrong. I hope he lives forever

IH knotters are a little different than what the others use, so you do indeed need a bona fide IH man to diagnose them. Neighbor has a 445 that can make nice bales, but it took a lot of tinkering and consulting to get it that way.

Having grown up riding on the twine boxes of an IH 45 baler, tying all the misses, I got pissed one day when it was hot and dusty, I decided to analyze the knotters and see what was wrong with the one that kept missing. After while I noticed the one needle was not always placing the twine in the twine disk properly. I convinced my dad to adjust the needle and it worked perfectly and I was out of a job.
As someone else stated the IH knotters require an old IH guy to fix them. But I believe they have one of the best pickups and will pickup a windrow cleaner that other brands.

Good luck
JB
