The biggest day I remember was years and years ago. I went to help a friend, Brad, and he had lots of hay down and lots of help. IH 440 baler behind a 656 gas. I was constantly calling for more twine. we put up something like 2400 between 10 AM and dark counting the down-time when I pulled the tongue out of the baler. On my own place I had a brand new 435 baler behind a 2950 John Deere on big windrows I was chucking out a bale every 6 plunger strokes. Now that is filling a wagon! One thing about IH balers, The harder you push them , the better they tie. I borrowed an almost new Deere baler one time. As soon as I tried to hurry it it would go to missing. The fist baler dad had was a 68 New Holland and it would eat hay. The next baler we got was a 268 and it wasn't worth a darn if there was a rain cloud coming. It just would not stand to be pushed. later dad had a 289 and that was a high capacity machine. Now I put up all my hay in large rounds. It takes 45 seconds to wrap a bale with twine and I have been in windrows big enough that I was stopped more time than I was rolling. You can put up a lot of hay in a day that way.

My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
