This past week I worked on the baler we picked up last fall. A farmer we heard was wanting to get rid of the square baler. And we saw what we liked and brought it home. This is one beast of a baler. Specially considering what we was working with. There was some loose tines on the pickup. And the bands was torn up some. I think he hit something the last time he was using it. And those bands was removed before we bought it. I got a few tine mounts and swapped out the ones that was broken. Here is one removed and you can see part of the mount broken off. New one ready to be installed. New one mounted up. This one took a wallop of a hit. And it is the back side on top of that. Where the bottom mounts up to underneath the baler. New bands all installed. And we are ready to give the baler a try. I have several bales blew up on me in the barn. So I will try it out on those when I get a chance.

Nice find. We used to have an International square baler that would be about 50 years old now.
