Hey John Deere enthusiasts. I originally had this posted on the combines & harvesters forum, but did not have much luck over there. I'm looking for information regarding a John Deere hay loader-type baler made in the 1930's. It was called a "Windrow Pickup Press" and came out in 1936. Are there any left? I would like to know the model number, pictures, manual, or any recollections of these. They were a large machine for their time. Hay was picked up from the windrow (like a hay loader) and moved over the top and down into the bale chamber. Large wheels. Wire tie. Powered by a 4 cylinder Hercules engine (earlier ones had a Lycoming 4-cylinder). Ring any bells? It was just before the PTO models became available. Any information is welcome. So far, the only reference I have found is in the book titled "John Deere Tractors and Equipment Volume One" (page 268 & 269). Thank you.

dean4t,
I have several sales brochures and an owners manual for JD Windrow pick-up presses - they were introduced in 1935 according to the parts list in the owners manual, and the earliest advertising brochure I have is from April 1935. They had two bale chamber sizes, 14x18 and 16x18. By 1942 (latest sales brochure I have) they were offered with a PTO option, or a LU JD engine. At that time they weighed slightly over 3800 lbs. They were all "hand-tie", ie, a person sat on each side of the bale housing, tying the wires when the bale was of proper length - a dirty job, to say the least!

An owners manual for July 1943 refers to them as the No. 614 (14x18 bale) and 616 (16x18 bale), and that unit was using a Wisconsin VE-4 motor.

Hope this helps-
