chuck: I've seen my NH S-69 go through an entire season and never miss tieing a single bale. I'm also talking 30,000 plus bales per year. I know hundreds of NH owners that will tell you the same. Bear in mind my S-69 came 15 years before your IH 440, and I did say through the 50s, 60s, and into the 70s NH were superior to anything on the market. Yes, by the mid 70s the others did start to catch up. What was the point in catching up by 1975, 75% of the hay was going round bale by then. I had my S-69 for 17 years and expect it surpassed the half million bale mark, I doubt if it missed tieing 50 bales lifetime. I traded it off for a round baler in 1976.

I wouldn't brag up IH 45 balers on this forum, just serves to make one look bad, or show how little he knows. When I was a kid in the 50s almost everyone in the area had a 45 baler. We didn't know any better. We really thought it was necessary to have the kid on behind hand tieing bales. Then two farmers drove 120 miles to the nearest NH dealer and each bought NH balers. By 1956 a local guy took out a NH dealership. Everyone said he would fail selling only a line of haying and forage equipment, and haying and forage equipment more expensive to buy than the others. By 1960 he had a 5 acre bone yard of 95% IH 45 balers. Some of them had not baled 12,000 bales of hay lifetime. It was the standing joke amoung NH dealers in the 60s, "How large is your inventory of 45 balers.
