Wish i had a flat eight back in the day ,instead of hand stacking all the hay and straw bales by hand. Stacking on the trailers by hand ,then in the barn. one of the reasons i left farming.

Thanks, had some nice hay from this field.👍

Flat eight system mad such a difference in its day , we had a perry loader before a flat eight , I do remember they did a Cook system but the flat eight was the best , and see you have one of the best balers made a fantastic IH 440 , we had a IH 430 , love that Nuffield , beautiful , and drove a few Leyland and a Marshall witch i did like it was a 602 I think , but I am a IH man myself and i have a IH 674 with loader and use it every day , but i do round bales now, Why do you have that chain draging behind the sledge ??

@@jamesmarsh4957 Yes made a big difference. Had the baler a long time now and used a New Holland before that. We like our Nuffields and have a Leyland 262 on the loader. The chain is just to help keep the latch down on the tail gate on the sledge.👍
