Nicely done. Ben, there were some great shots (to make into pictures) when you were bailing against the backdrop of those Autumn trees and blue skies. Looks like you're nicely situated for next years season. God bless and thanks for bringing. us along.

Looks good ben, Around our area I can remember when you could count on one hand the number of 4wd tractors in the area.....and now everybody thinks you have to have one, and that has not been that long ago early 90's approximately ....... Then the small compacts came along and you either bought 4wd or it didn't do very well due to weight/size of the machine.....the rest is history

Can't believe the 135 is apparently gone. I'll be honest that hurts a little but I get it. I have my Grandpa's 135 that he bought new in 1972 and I wouldn't part with it. However, the JD is a good looking, good sounding machine that is no doubt more ergonomic and operator friendly. The "straight down" pedals on the 135 will take a toll on your knees that's for sure. I hated to hear about your Grandma but there is no doubt from the life you described her living that she is in a much better place. Thanks for posting this content!

Hey Ben is there anyway you could make a video on how to feed hay twine in your New Idea 483 baler. I acquired one and need some guidance on it

@khtractors 4 ай бұрын

I will try to do that. I’ll go ahead and try explaining it also. Coming from the twine box you should have a small plate on springs that acts as a drag for tension on the twine. Run it under that through the hole. Then you’ll have an eyelet on the front part of the baler it needs to feed through. Then it will need be fed into the twine arm, that’s the difficult part. You’ll need something like a wire or weedeater string to feed down the twine arm then tie on the twine and pull it through to where about 6” is sticking out. I find it easier to do this with the twine arms moved to the center of the bale chamber vs the closed position. You must use twine from both sides of the baler when baling. They start wrapping in the center of the baler and move outward. On those you’ll sometimes need to feed some hay into the baler with the twine arms out for it to start wrapping the bale. It won’t always pickup the twine to start pulling it in on its own. Hope this helps some. Thanks
