They were big advancement.

When I was in my teens back in the 70's I helped the neighbor on his farm. He had a Farmall 400, International 666 and an International 1466. I drove all three but really fond of the 1466. Fit a lot of ground with it as well as plowed. We used the 400 to mow and rake hay/straw. Then use the 666 to pull a International 430(?) baler. I and my brothers would buck the bale's and run the 400 back and forth from the field to the barn. Good old days. We worked our tails off but we had fun! Sure miss those days.

Loved the old 770. That brought back memories. I have sit on the fender for many hours, and have set in driver’s seat many hours as well!❤

That 770 was a great rig .. looked like they were in a pretty high gear and really moving across the fiel too! Funny how the sound of those old engines gets imprinted in our memories forever :)

The last 2 gentlemen earned my respect. I have done that job many times over and my stacking skills would not come close to that on my best day. Happy 4th of JUly!!!! I am proud to be an American!!!!! The best country in the world without a rival to be found!!!!!!!!! Get Some!!!!!!!

Back in 1968 Dad did custom haying for a guy on 1000 acres of alfalfa 4 cuttings a year. Sister at 14 ran the new John Deere 880 swather and knocked down 100 acres a day. Mom Brother and Dad baled at night with the dew on with three John Deere 215 Wire tie balers. I ran the HaroBed and could stack 4000 bales a day. He paid me .03 per bale.Not bad wages for a kid in school

I still contend to this day that baling hay midsummer in the Midwest is one of the best character building things I’ve ever done.

The John Deere 348 around the 9:45 mark sounded like it was baling up scrap metal, not the usual mechanical noises that hypnotize like most small square balers.

I also learned to round bale driving a 4430 John Deere.

For many years my dad bailed with an 850 new Holland baler behind many tractors. His dad bought it new in the 70s and dad ran it till 2009. The most memorable tractors he ran it with included an 884 international my uncle had, a 1210 case David brown, 930 case, but the itchiest award goes to the 570 Cockshutt, but that tractor had a nice pto setup for bailing with.

In 1964 I started picking up these square bales for half a cent a bale. In 1968 was getting two cents a bale. Sure made appreciate the better jobs later in life.

When my parents were farming we ran a ford 530 square baler on a Oliver 550. Great memories.

It was nice seeing all this new-fangled bale handling equipment in action, and also traditional methods including the two hand-loaded trailers. Even some open-station tractors, including one with the umbrella that brought back memories of hot summers in the Sacramento Valley. Too bad you didn't find any of the old tractors we used at work. I suppose there aren't many still in action.

We still run older IH tractors on our hay equipment. Bale with an 856 open station on a NH 273 and a 5088 on a 565 with a thrower. We bought a Vermeer 504R last year and we run that on our 986
