Good morning Hugh, Let me tell you a short story, when I was about 13 our neighbor came to dad at 12:30 and asked if he could bale hay that afternoon. Dad and I took the MD the 45 and 2 wagons and went. The men next door to the neighbor was to bale it, they told Bill to rake it big cause they didn"t have time to waste and their 400D and NH baler could handle it. In less than a round the shuttle board feeder on their NH went into the plunger. They were laughing at us when we pulled in, which I thought was kind of ironic. I am sure they watched, all afternoon we never clutched the MD, I asume you know how fast low is. That 45 pushed out bales on as little as 6 and 7 strokes. We pulled out at a little after 6, just in time to run home for milking, a little over 1200 bales. My dealer sold both NH and IH, he had customers who liked one or the other, and some who had trouble with either. When I bought the 440 he had 2 NH's on hand, had just sold a 430, and had the one I bought coming. I never saw acres, or even a few of any baler setting because they wouldn't work. I showed him where the 45's bale chamber was cracked. He told me the next time I saw him that a neighbor gave him 150 bucks for it before he got it off the truck. There may be thousands who had trouble with a 45, I don't really care, but someone should also be allowed to say they liked the machine and why. I have hay to bale again today, hope yours is good, Chuck

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day.
