Ya the IH balers are junk, I bought a junk IH/McCormick 45T 35+ years ago out of a fence row for $25.00 and it is still putting up bales every year, but I don't put up many now, maybe 200 or so, just to play and keep my old muscles moving.
Live power is a + on any tractor,I pull it with my 400 or the 730 Diesel
The paint is long gone, and she really looks junky cause it sits out, but @ the end of the season I spray it down with old motor oil, and she never failed to work the next season.
It will miss a knot now and then if you don't turn it off while not picking up hay/straw or trying to operate it too fast.
Always figgered I'd use it till it broke, then get a nice John Deere 14T or 24T
but it never broke. other than old tires rotting down.
