Every kid needs to experience this.

Thank you for sharing this Classic equipment. Nothing like it any more. The newer equipment is nice ,but there something special to this Classic equipment.

That is how my grandfather put up hay and stray when I was 10 years old. He had me driving the tractor. You don't see this much anymore. The hitch on the tractor needs to be slid right so the tractor is more to the left.

$10k for such a high quality, long lasting tractor... definitely not the theme today. Great video!

My 1967 17 year old baling memory- A hazy 100 degree 100% humidity almost unbearable day baling oat straw with an older IH baler and Allis WD. The old fella running the baler had broken his hip and was more or less propped up on the seat. He couldn’t turn around or hear very well, so if a bale missed, I had to jump off and run to the front where he could see me. He also had part of his lower lip removed because of cancer but he still chewed. Every so often he would drool over the edge of the seat since he couldn’t spit. When the old picnic jug of water showed up, he was given the jug first! You just unscrewed the lid and drank from the open top. At least he didn’t lose his chew into the water but when I got the jug, there was a nasty scum! Thirsty as I was, I drank anyway. Thanks BTP, for stirring the old man memories again!

Did that with straw and hay. A truly UNFORGIVING job. That's REAL work!! Wore long sleeves so your arms wouldn't get so cut up and scratched. Don't miss that job. Cool video Jason. 👍👍

When I was growing up our farm had a Farmall H, Super M, and a 806. This video brings back a lot of memories. We also had a Chalmers D-17

Wow! Just replace the 1256 with a 504 with an umbrella and that was us! Our 430 was a wire baler. The problem with the wire baler is it left the ends of the wire sticking up and I seldom got out of the field without a bloody arm. Also, my brother and I didn't have cell phones attached to our belts :) This one really takes me back to the 70's. Thanks BTP!

Been there, done that !!

Great baling setup. Nice straight pipe and turbo too. Would be nice to hear that tractor pull a decent sized molbourd plough at max throttle.

Many years and miles behind a baler...we rarely used the kicker because of all the side hills in northern PA, and just had them drop on the ground. Someone usually had to follow the baler because the bale would roll down into the next windrow. Dairy farm used 3-4 Cs, an H, 460, 560, 706, 856, 966, and a CaseIH 1594. We had custom-built hay wagons using house trailer axles...some loads on the lower fields (flatter) could have 11 tiers with almost 400 bales (couldn't get under the power lines if it was any higher). Before the move to more silage and round bales, we would typically put up about 14,000 bales per year. Great video, bringing back lots of memories.

Reminiscing my days on that dusty wagon, almost felt a sneeze coming on.

I always enjoyed climbing around the wagon on a hilly Pennsylvania field having to watch to make sure you’re not in the kickers line of fire. Good times.

They did a beautiful job of restoration on that IH 1256. Used to have one of those IH 430 balers. It worked pretty good for the most part. Stay safe.

I always enjoy seeing old red power at work.

Good stuff b t p. Thanks buddy. Made many bales with I h 47 growing up working with my Dad Grandad. Every boy should work some days in hay field . Lot to be learned there.

Perfect straw weather in Crawford County, Ohio right now, 94 today and humid, I clipped the stubble the opposite direction then it was combined to get every bit of straw with an 8 N Ford and a 7 ft sickel bar mower. Makes me question the good old days. Thx for the video!!

We have a 1975 464 IH. It’s one of those weird models that was only produced for 3 years. I love our IH!!

One of my most favorite things on the farm is putting up hay. Love this old iron! What a great combination.

I loaded over a thousand wagons by myself back in the day. No and I do not miss it. Only the cold beers after we were done.

I use a IH 560 diesel for bailing with a 68 New Holland square bailer and a couple round bailers a Vermeer 605 B and a 1600 Gehl. I like the the older equipment you don't have to worry about computer failure

Best way I found to get stronger for the upcoming football season when I was in school: Baling hay and shelling corn all summer

My 1256 is my favorite tractor. Nothing like it's throaty exhaust note in chorus with the turbo whine. As it's working ground.

The good old days👍

Beautiful tractor

The fun part was going 11 high on the bale rack to get the field done!! Then on the way home hitting a hole and losing the load. Yep, fun on the farm!! Thanks for making my fingers hurt 😢 again.Now itch too!!!

Sounds good, smooth. Nice seeing old iron in good working order.

Wow does this bring back memories. Red 656 diesel and a New Holland baler. Didn’t mind straw but baling hay was tough. Bales too heavy when 11 years old.

Boy do I remember them days 👍👍

I baled a lot of hay with the 430 we had. It never missed a bale when the hay was good and dry. But if it wasn't perfect it didn't want to tie. It ended up being replaced by a New Holland 320. We got bigger wagons and the IH thrower could not through to the back. I still have 3 IH roller bar rakes and 7 IH tractors. Last week I finished mowing a field with my farmal C's sickle bar when I had an issue with my discbine

What a wonderful video of classic machinery. This wakes a lot of memories of itching neck while stacking all the bales on the Waggon, back in my youth when I helped out on my uncles farm. But the tractor was a Fendt 306 and the baler a Deutz-fahr I guess 😊

Yeppers. We are here in the eastern Panhandle of Wva and we run IH tractors for the most part. We run a 1086 , 856 , 786, two 656’s , 686 and then an old gas 460 farmall and then a 140 with belly cultivators for the garden. My uncle was a dealer here in Berkeley springs. We Have a good many Other tractors but of the different colors. Thanks for all the videos. Enjoy watching them all.

Brings back memories

Spent my share of time on a hay wagon behind a baler. Growing up my dad had an Oliver 520 wire tie baler. It was a sweet running machine that very rarely missed a bale. My neighbor across the field still has it.

Nice !

I still find it hard that IH is no longer in business. I know they are part of caseIH, but still not the same. IH made so many good products and was such a gold standard in equipment. Still hard to swallow.

still got our 440 here in new zealand still going great

Love the old Internationals

We did that back in the late 50's early 60's with a Farmall M on the International 45 baler and a Farmall H towing wagons back and forth to the barn and fields. My brother still has the Farmall H and baler. Brings back good memories.

Nice find! I have a 1/64 1256 with a cab. But no duals.

I remember those days, thank Gog I don’t have to do that anymore.

Really nice looking tractor and baler. Stacked many a bale behind that setup. Wire tie was harder to stack behind because the bales were much heavier.

This is how I remember hay making in the 70s - the tractor was a Fergie 165 but we had to lift the bales from the ground and onto the Bedford flat-deck. Sore hands, sore backs and and nasal passages and throats full of itchy dust! I agree with Morris below - every youth would be the better for doing a stint of this!

We used a John Deere 24T baler for several decades on both grass hay and oat straw. It was paired with a variety of tractors on our farm over that time, though oddly enough never a JD tractor. We often used a Case 430, a Leland 384, Ford 7700 and a few others. We retired the 24T about 10 years ago when we bought a new JD 348 baler, which clearly shares the same heritage, but is vastly more capable. (Many more strokes per minute , much faster and wider pickup with more tines, double the twine capacity). In 10+ years it’s always gobbled up all the hay or straw we could throw at it, where you had to be careful with the 24T not to overdo it, as it could easily clog). We used to go through shear pins daily with the 24T, with the 348 we’ve used 3 shear pins in 10 years, and those only when a significant malfunction occurred. JD still makes a fine baler.

Nice to see that this method still survived. For sure this kind of harvest is more slow and heavy work as the industrial harvest nowadays.

Spent many doing that in my younger years. Miss those days.

Man that's a sweet looking tractor

I spent many hrs on an IH 1256. Pretty powerful old tractor. My butt shure knows what it’s seat looks like.

Oh, the days spent handling square bales. And I didn't do it near as much as my neighbors and cousins. Didn't care to stack wagons, cared even less to stack in the barn. Thanks for memories revisited!

love the ole IH baler! Still going!

Muito Muito bom VER máquinas antigas trabalhar

Grew up on a dairy farm south of Rocfalls,Illinois my dad had a 1952 super C, an M , and gas 400 w torque amplifier, he bought the c brand new in 52, had a square baler it was a crank start had its own motor on it, this baler & 1256 are both in excellent shape, nice equipment..

Brings back good memories. I lifted a lot of bales when I was a teenager.

Bellissimo vidieo! Altro che rotoballe e caricatori automatici. Come si faceva una volta! Bello! 👍🏻

have had all i hc balers 422-425-430-440-445 and no doubt-best formed bales of all:)

Love the video. I still use my 544 Farmall Diesel and MF #12 small square baler to bale hay.

I used to do that and my dad did too

We run a few newer large Case tractors on the farm, 2 280s right now both attached to our LB334R balers, 1 180, a 6150 combine, an old 2388 combine, 8910 and 986 tractors, but when we need something on an auger or just a little hauling done, we also have a super M and a Hydro 70, and man if they aren't just the nicest things, fire right up like they're just leaving the factory floor

Great video as usual! Wouldn't have minded helping.

Wow!!! I don't think he had enough horsepower for that baler?!?! (Ha!Ha!) We did custom baling back in the 60's and 70's, and we used an Allis Chalmers WD and a New Holland baler. Yes, that is a hot job out in the sun.

Great video

Great video! And I have done plenty of straw and hay..

Still bale hay and stack on wagons that way still. Thanks for showing.

That is some hard work right there. My Father would tell me stories about that.. my father worked for international Harvester company for 38 years way before I was born

Awesome video

Oh the memories

My first tractor was a IH 1466 and a Heston 5800 round baler.

@bigtractorpower- definitely love seeing IH equipment in action out in the field where it belongs. Please post more videos like this. Come harvest time, maybe IH harvesting corn, soybeans or whatever you can film. Thanks again!!

I used to do that type of work with a 1086 International and a 445 baler I really miss that time

We had an international baler that we replaced with a New Holland 273,but we still use our old bulletproof 856 to bale,a 706 gas to move wagons,and mow the hay with our 986,and use our 5088 on our nh 565 kick baler

Still using a IH 1976 Hydro 100 tractor and 430 baler on our farm. Only make approximately a couple hundred grass hay bales each summer.

Been running the 806 on the case IH sbx540 baler with a Hoelscher 1000 10 bale accumulator. Don’t want any less tractor on that combination, mainly due to hydraulic capacity to run the accumulator. Made 1400 bales of straw with it last night. Unfortunatly a pop up thunder storm got us last night and rained on my bales. Keeps it interesting.

Owing to the width of the tractor, the baler pickup is right on the limit of being able to pickup up the whole windrow - perhaps if the driver offset the tractor drawbar to his right slightly, it would give him a bit more leeway. Otherwise, a very nice set up, classic IH machinery doing what it does best and a nice neat job of building the bale stack on the trailer too - brings back memories....

Never stacked wagons but did tons of smalls. New Holland 268 hayliner(had it since the 70s i think)

They brought plenty of tractor! We used to run a bigger IH 55T baler with a 400 or an M. : )

Has the tractor been repainted? Color is still nice and bright. You wouldn’t get away building a load of straw like that in hilly western PA. You’d lose a corner off the wagon for sure especially with oat straw. Seven high was about the most we could manage under the overhead loft.

Judging by the wagon floor, there was an IH combine in that field first

That was just great to watch 😊👍

Classic! 👍 - Doug in Iowa

Thank you so much for the video appreciate it

Love red power. Wow my father had 1256 International

We used a farmall M and an International 656 growing up. I still use the 656.

Nice rig.

I handled thousands of bales over the years when I was a kid... I worked behind a Farmall M and New Holland and then an Oliver 550 and a New Holland... Lot of hard work, but I felt good at the end of my day... Lot of memories... Thanks for jogging my memory...

I do use some IH tractors , 1086 966 super m w6 and H. also a 1494 Case IH. I also use a 445 IH wire tie small square baler. Thanks for the video!

Sweet running Outfit. That is Hard Brutal work. I miss it

MM self propelled wire tie baler pulled by a MM 5 star. But I really like that purdy red tractor...........

That's a nice tractor and baler👍😉Stacking bales is hard work. We baled with an old welger baler😁 Great video again👍👍

We had the exact same baler, brings back good memories of long hot days !!!!!!! Great video 👍👍👍👍👍

My uncle had a IH white 46 baler pulled by a 544 hydro upgraded to the 430 in 1972 and still has it. My dad had JD 24T pulled by farmall 450 then upgraded to a JD 336 pulled by a farmall 656 diesel which I still have today, Loyal WI 🐄👍

Spent my entire childhood stacking bales behind an international 430 baler pulled by an international 806. That was our only means of making hay for many, many years on our beef operation. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Sure is easier since we got the round baler though. I mean, you won't ever get me back into that dang loft stacking bales in a 130 degree barn...

Man how I hated those days, yet I miss them so much 😒

Love seeing the old iron

I made thousands of smalls with that model Baler. Pulled it with a 1066hydro. Ours had a bale thrower on it.

Great video again. I wonder can that baler be opened out more it looks to be very closed for some reason.

Thanks for the awesome video. I've stacked bales on the wagon back in the day and don't miss it. And if I remember correctly, the straw was always ready to bale on the hottest day of the year. Still use my 856 and 656 tractors.

Looks to be making uniform bales. It's always fun when you get long ones, short ones, and some the size they should be. Especially when you're stacking hay or alfalfa in the summer heat.

An IH 430 baler that actually ties??? That thing needs to be in the Smithsonian

Thanks for the digital heat stroke

I liked the video but I don't miss handling bales that way good video
