Lord Ferguson Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Yeah.... you just know my next question is how much I'd love to bring my Fanny up to have a play with that baler... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 We bought it new in 1960 something (not sure ) It has done a hell of a lot of bales in it's life. I 'think' it's a 703 but not too sure after all these years She get sprayed with transmission oil every year after baling less than 100 bales and tucked up in the shed. Goes really well! It's down on the books valued at ?1 - because the accountant can't depreciate it any more :D Fanny could have a play, but if I sold it, where would I get my little bales from?

Gav836 Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 The game keeper had one of those balers for doing his pheasent run bales and the oat bales for the kennels with where I used to work. Good baler if you didn't push it too hard. We soon learnt that 15-20' wide cuts were enough for it, the first year he had it we never thought and I cut full 25' widths in good winter barley, the poor blokes leg was aching from riding the clutch on the Ford, none of the estates tractors had a gear slow enough, it was spitting a bale out every metre :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right cheers John......I know how you feel about the collector sledge, at the other farm where I occasionally help out we have a home built sledge and it just collects them in no real order or form and dumps them in a heap...... :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Will have a pic of that brochure up tomorrow - looks a very tidy baler - luckily our IH 440 has a wide pick up and we have baled in 17ft swarths with her and the Ford 3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
