IMHO the best hay baler ever made. They advertised that it would bale 10 bales a minute and it did. About $2400 new in 1950 something. Wisconsin V4 was known for vapor locking after hot shutdowns so we would park it under a shade tree at noon and just leave it idle.

I came up with a rough estimate of 450000 bales through the one we had due to custom baling in the neighborhood over about a 15 year period. It took turns being pulled around by a 1936 John Deere A and a '49 A, Oliver Super 88 and a WD Allis chalmers. The 10 bales a minute I mentioned was free dropping. Loading onto a pull behind wagon with the chute was somewhat slower. No small kicker bales. These were the big old 'squares'.

Some people feel this was one of the most significant tractors offered by Allis-Chalmers in those days. Nothing in its weight or power class could match its performance.
