As the combine cut the field. The straw is put into windrows for baling. The straw is later used for bedding in the calving barn and where needed. Some is sold to the yard/lawn contractors. Plus with July 4th weekend deadline, it needs to be baled up quickly. The International 856 is on the New Holland baler. With a kicker on the back it really speeds up the baling process. As you only need man power to unload. The wagons are taken are swapped out as they get full. So the baler can keep going almost non-stop. The Farmall MD is on the wagon duty. The oldest tractor of the farm. She don't get out often. This is about the only time you will see her out. Unless around the farm. The Farmall Super M. This is another you don't away from the farm often. Just like the MD, she mostly pull wagons. The straw is taken to the barns. Where it is stored for use or sell. Here is the Farmall 400. Another that is mostly used on wagon duty. With 3 tractors pulling wagons and 1 on the baler. You can get nice amount of straw moving.

Farmall Super M was the first tractor I ever drove. I have a early edition M in 64th scale, and as of today an MV hi-crop.

Mine was the Farmall M. Since then I collected a 16th and 64th versions. Plus somewhere on my display is a Farmall M running around.
