Many years ago, my family bought an IH B46 which at first they put behind a IH B450. Like all earlier International tractors, it did not have a live PTO. Apparently they then put it on a MF 65 with a dual clutch which of course was far handier. (Its much easier to creep up to the lumps and 'tease' them in bit by bit isn't it? )The story goes that my late father got a job baling a field of hay for another farmer. When he drove into the field the first thing he noticed was that the windrows were very lumpy and also strangely enough, the farmer in question had hired ANOTHER guy to help bale the field, by coincidence he too had an IH B46, but this time pulled by a Fordson Major. The Fordson did not have live PTO unlike dads MF65, and I remember dad telling me how he ran rings around the other fella. The guy with the Fordson came over to dad and said "Seeing how you can get on , I think I might as well go home!"
