I was wondering what model hay balers IHC made in the late 40's & early 50's? I baled lots of hay with an IH wire tie baler with its own engine. Pulled it with an H & M. Don't remember the model. Ours had a wheel under the front end so it didn't put any weight on the tractor.

The baler you are looking for is a 50 T....they came with and with out the front wheel.....If you are mostly on level ground,the front wheel will be OK,,,,they can hijack,but no big deal,if your careful,just dont pull large loaded wagons in hilly fields..We had the string tie bailer...wire tie can leave short pieces of wire in the bales.....this causes problems inside a cow.....If you want to sell the balea,wire is stronger.....NOTE; Our neighbor had a NEW HOLLAND of about year'49 or '50...IT would out bale the 50 T EASLY....But the IHC 50 T was a good little bailer....The engine block was the same as the A B C tractors..... .

BTW, this baler had a heavy flywheel with a shear key that you had to remove the flywheel to replace. Not much fun to shear multiple keys in one day. A few years later, I had to have a hernia repaired.

THE FIRST BALER AFTER WORLD WAR II WAS THE 50T AND 50W.

I believe you are recalling the infamous, IHC 45T and 55T balers. I think they also came in wire tire. I consider them to be very poor machines, but if you paint one up, it would look great parked behind an H or M at a show!

Dad had anIH 45 twine tie baler, and it was not al that bad, once you learned its tricks. Once ina while it would get the idea not to tie, but most of the time it did good, but you had to buy god twine, would not tie the cheapstuff. Brother an I were baling one day and everything was perfect. We were puting out 6 bales a minute,(one every 10 strokes). dad made us slow down though, as the bales were not really square and were hard to stack. Neighbor had a 46, and he regularly baled a 64 bale load every 10 - 15 minutes, all day long.

They might not be the best but they were quite good for the time. They were quite sensitive to the quality of wire used & even then the notter(tier) could be a little tempremental.

It was much better to be on a tractor when baling rather than being back on the baler pushing wires and placing blocks or tying the wires on a n old Case baler. That is what we upgraded from.
