My uncle baled hay with his M and a T45 baler for years back in the 50s, before getting a 460 and moving to a NH baler w/kicker. He finished out with a 560 and JD baler that really had a kicker on 'er. Think he averaged 4 to 5 thousand bales per year on his dairy farm, depending on the second cutting, but don't think he ever topped 4 thousand with the T45 and the M. I recall those bales being heavier than the bales my cousin now makes.

My cousin now makes about 5-6 thousand 60lb bales per year on the same farm, with a 656D and a fairly new NH baler w/kicker, but also round bales some of the hay.

Uncle never had much good to say about the T45 either, but a bud of mine had one that came with the 40 acre horse farm he bought in 1978 and baled about 1200-1600 bales of nag hay each year with little drama. Used to rile my uncle to no end, when my bud would report how many bales he put up each summer with that old junker, with no problems. He pulled it with an Oliver Super 55.

My bud's son made it through ONE season with that old T45 after my buddy died, went out and bought a used NH baler, which they still use. ;O)
