I had a wire tie IH 47 baler. IH always knew how to make a wire tie baler work but until they went to the All Twine knotters on the 440 and 430 balers their twine knotters were problematic at best. To the point a lot of 37 and 47 balers had All Twine knotters retrofitted. My 47 baler was worn out - lots of slop in all the bearings and even the wedges were worn near smooth in the bale chamber - finally replaced them when I couldn't get a heavy bale no matter how much tension I put on it - everything was worn so smooth the hay just slid through. But in complete reversal of most IH balers I've been around - that thing ALWAYS tied. The only issue I would had was it was very picky about splicing the rolls of wire together - if you take the bales broke by the splice not feeding through I would run a couple thousand bales a year through it and not break a bale.
We eventually sold it - should have kept it as a backup. The 47 and older models were SLOW going through the field and some of my brome fields put out a lot of hay - to the point even with windrows less than a rake's width apart they were so big they barely fit into the pickup - and then you had to creep along riding the clutch to allow the baler to keep up - my old 350 farmall just wouldn't go that slow at PTO speed. It worked much better with an Allis D17. I would imagine a John Deere 214W to be similar to the 47W in capacity and operation.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of David Brown Tractors - by Samuel Kennedy. I was born in 1950 and reared on my family�s 100 acre farm. It was a fairly typical Northern Ireland farm where the main enterprise was dairying but some pigs, poultry and sheep were also kept. Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
