Nice looking equipment ! What breed Is that tractor

stoughtonfarmboy · Jul 5, 2019

Allis Chalmers 5040. 3 cylinder diesel, Fiat made in Romania by UTB. Extra hoses are for grapple I added to loader bucket. Unhooked so I can use hydraulics to turn bale thrower. Still missed the wagon on a couple turns.

That?s a pretty nice rig. Never been around a thrower do the bales survive the landing pretty well ?

Brown Swiss · Jul 6, 2019

Ya they survive okay, some first ones will break. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and small square balers with slingers, kickers, or throwers (whatever you want to call them) were as thick as fleas on a dog!

Thanks for posting.........great picture......

The size of the rear tires on your Tractor..?...

Always nice to see other areas Haying...

We baled thousands of bales with the New Holland Baler and the 3 cylinder Perkins Diesel...MF FE 35 X..

Never seen one anywhere near here New Holland stack wagons were used mostly

Tire has 14.9 R 28 on the side. They may look a little larger as they are set as wide as they go. That way when I got it several years ago. Probably a good idea for the hills of Wisconsin.

I grew up with my dad having kicker balers, like any other baler when things working correct they are fine when not boy does a broken bale go flying when it gets kicked, hay loafs all over the place! to do nowdays thou I would use basket wagons or accumulator. I had both of those for years, now all retired out of the small bales period, straw to grocery store was my money maker.
