We had a Massey-Harris-Ferguson #3 baler. It was a bear to get going every year. Once it ran, it ran great. But it was a slow speed unit. The neighbours had a JD 14T. You could bale our field in an afternoon with that thing. Our #3 would take a day and a half with all the issues it caused at the start of the season.

I really enjoy these shows, I have no idea why I’m obsessed with machinery of all types

Those colors are pure 1950's art deco, combined with the curves of the top and the stylized grill - this is one nice tractor! I would keep it in my living room!

Very good machine

I wish he was my grandfather, just think of all the cool story’s and stuff he would show you

1 could never have enough tractors thank you for showing

I was around Massey Harris 44 Special and 55 tractors growing up, love this baler.

he has such an amazing attitude about everything, and tells his story about the equipment very well

Looking at buying one from a buddy, are parts hard to find?

Great baler I think Ford or new Holland had a self-propelled all so .p.s. we had a 3 wheel baler Farmall with a cub or A engine great machine's🇺🇸🏆

Grew up up on a farm in South Dakota in fifties and sixties and we used a lot of old equipment, all our bailers were square. As far as Massey Ferguson I think we had one of those tractors but John Deere was our favorite.

Nice outfit Richard! See you at West Liberty, Ohio.

Just found Your baling Vidieo 👍👍

Excellent, I really enjoyed that!

good video

What a man.

Nice tractor and baler

That looks like fun.

What a guy we need more youngins like him!!

Great video!

Most farmers just count themselves lucky to have a hay baler that works consistently and isn't in the repair shop.

We had a neighbor that had one except it was a wide front, same color as yours.

This is the first I've seen one of these!Very nice!Life was so simple back then!

That's is so Cool

nice tractor and hay baler

I've got a1956 Ferguson 40 Hi Clearance like that one, except mines got a wide front and the fender mounted headlights. I modified a Knoedler seat for it, because the original seat set right on the transmission housing and rode like a tank. I also swapped the input gears in the transmission for a 40 utility, Now it will run 20 in high gear.

Born on a farm in U.K. in 1941. Learned to drive a tractor, Fordson of course, at a very early age. Remember the day the new little Fergie arrived, TD 20. With magic three pint linkage, plough, discs, trailer etc. Magic ! . But never saw or knew of a Ferguson 40 or a Ferguson bailer .Moved onto Fordson New Majors ! and an International bailer with it's own Coventry Climax engine. That bailer looked really good , many ways similar to the International, maybe contravened a few patents, hence the decision to destroy them., maybe. Perhaps it needed to be needed to be easily converted to a trailer type just for moving from field to field, small gates in the UK then. But extremely interesting video.

looks like it is primed and ready for paint

More CTF videos with field work demos!

I have seen a lot of hay tools but never seen a hay baler like that one

It puts me in mind of the Massey Harris 101jr

That baler! a very informative visual record of it, thankyou. Seeing the drive layout and using the A.P.U.H. Can see the heritage somewhere - IH Shaft drives, ( & Knotters as you say ) Crankshaft unlike other Massey balers from UK, etc. Bit of work to convert a current baler to side mount. Yes Politics in the workplace, eh? where did it take Massey-Ferguson?

Did this Richard Kimball guy ever own a John Deere “D”? It seems to me that he was featured with such a tractor (bought new at Bradley Yoder & Co.) on the 1989 edition of DuPont’s “Classic Collectibles” Tractor VHS tape.

There's a lot of missed ties behind the baler at the end of the video. The baler is cool, but 13 feet wide overall and only such a tiny pickup? It just wasn't going to be a success, and maybe they canned it to save face. It's still a really cool concept, and that Ferguson 40 is just sweet, sweet, sweet!

As a part of The Marschall help Europ from war to pence a lot of gray Fergusons was given to Denmark. I do not hesitate to claim that danish prosperity was build on this gesture. TU USA.

Got my Ferguson To-30 looking for original implements. So hard to find.

Only ran Massey Ferguson and Ford equipment over forty years no problems.

I've never seen a baler like this. I've worked with farm equipment all my life and this one's new to me. New Holland made a self propelled baler a few years ago. I'm just wondering what the advantage of this style is?

It was probably just a purchase incentive at the dealers would could buy the tractor and get the baler attachment at a fraction of the MSRP. But as they spoke about in the video, the application was not advantageous. Too wide to fit through a gate, prohibitive maintenance to detach and re-attach. Essentially you have a tractor that only runs 1-3 times a year depending how often you bale.

Fajna parasolka 😁

How long does it take to mount it Seen Allis roto balers mounted like that

In the 70’s a farmer in England had the rare LTX, he took it in for a clutch, Massey confiscated it and torched it.

To say the least that sounds odd Can't remember seeing one here but memory ain't wot it used to be Gordon Exmouth UK

I’d like to know where he got the umbrella! I want one!!

Imagine if you could get your tractors in a multitude of colors much in the way you can get cars. You could finagle that thing through a 10 foot gate I bet. 1. Head Off center into the gate until the baler comes up bout as close as it can to the fence. 2. turning as sharp as possible with that narrow front pull in until your inline with the fence. 3.Back up to the other edge of the gate. 4.Turn as sharp as you can away from the baler and it should swing right in.

There is a farm nearby that has a barn full of 1950's tractor "attachments" (I'm not a farmer so I don't know the proper name). The machines are in amazing condition, considering they are in the upper northeast US. The paint is near factory, a little faded maybe. The farmer died recently and I have no idea what will happen to all those machines, they must be obsolete. Kinda bums me out to think they will be junked.

👍👍👍👍👍

Have a Ferguson 50 made in 1952. Needs some work, looking to sell. Live in western Iowa

The bailer is the same age as me. The bailer looks better.

i know where one of those balers are in central IL

Massey Harris recalled these balers after the 1953 merger with Ferguson they also recalled the Ferguson Ltx tractors which were an experimental 60 hp English Ferguson tractor and all 12 of them were chopped up, some say they wanted to destroy Harry Ferguson’s further developments as they superior to Massey’s own products

@@matthias18 Sounds like it was the opposite, they were too good. I can't name names, but I've seen this more than a few times in person. A company buys out a good product, starts making them real cheap but charges the same price which gives them a bigger profit margin. Often takes a while for the customers to catch on, and sometimes customers are just so tied into using that product that the can't just up and quit using it.

Contraption. Harry was a smart man and invented many useful things but as this guy said, it was too wide to get thru a gate. Knotters from another company. Ferguson never had the money to fully develop many of his ideas. Then look at the 97 and 98 tractors. Makes you wonder what or who the problem really was.

A semi mounted hay baler? Never seen one before. They should have copied New Hollands knotter, instead of IH knotters. I worked on both, and would never recommend IH for hay equipment.
