I love these old advertisements. These balers never caught on around here.

Those windrows look bigger around than the bales that thing made. If the hay was really that heavy he'd be stopping about every 3 ft. to drop a bale!

Looking behind, they are 3' apart! must have a .01mph 1st gear. Jim

I just spotted an Allis Charmers D14 for sale in the photo ads. In that r and l are nowhere near each other on the keyboard I have to think it was not a typo. (;>))

I remember those balers all to well. I also remember putting 2 windrows together so as to make a non ice cream cone bale. Used it one summer and sold it as fast as I could after that

Those balers will bale a big windrow,we usually baled in 2nd gear with the WD45 and if baling a very tight bale it'll pull the governors open.

They were a great baler, and I still have the one my dad bought new in 1948 in the shed. And yes you needed a big windrow to make a decent bale. And the Allis pto rake could build just the perfect fluffy windrow needed to make good bales. We would cut with a 7 foot mower, and rake 3 into one most times, 4 into one on a lighter crop.

We used a WD45 diesel...slow and steady, some years with hay like this we put up 12,000 bales. There is a reason AC liked their hand clutch tractors! Dad bought a MF 135 diesel and liked it alot for mowing and raking, put it on the rotobaler one day for the fun of it and wound up taking a week to get his clutch knee back to normal...never did that again!

I made 1 3/4 bales with the Rotobaler I picked up this spring. Then the twine arm decided to trip and dangle there. Haven't figured out how to get it to reset, so it is parked. Until I have an infusion of patience.

Probably the spring that trips the gear over on the arm.The springs are critical to the baler operating as its supposed to,there is a spring kit available.
Also get an owners manual and read it cover to cover.

the owners manual was the first thing I got after the baler.

Ps, I have a newer white top for sale in
South Dakota, shredded in nice shape

A friend told me one time his dad had a 544 IH and baled with it. He thought it was the perfect setup for a roto baler. He sent me over to the neighbors to help bale. The neighbor kid had a WD on his baler and could out bale me.
