Happy Memorial Day, Ross!!
I did an old baler rescue a couple of weeks ago, people following behind can be real azzhats. Most important thing is that you made it home safe.
Don’t let those comments be anything other than a comment, it’s a roll right of the good ol back, just be you,ok thanks , if you do what others want to to do then I will not watch this cha anymore, right, JUST BE YOU. Thanks BigAl California, praise Jesus Christ grace amen 🙏.
Glad u saved this baler and got a great deal
Thanks!
An old Native American corn planting method was to start planting corn when the Maple Tree leaves were just emerging at the size of mouse ears. Seems about right. The trees know the calendar and the local micro-climate better than we do.
Sure 😂 you are so right on people driving today
It’s so sad 🤣
I bought and rebuilt a 620 this spring. Got it for near nothing. Now im in it for over 700. New knotters, new plunger rollers, new plunger pitman, new hitch, new tires. Its been an adventure. Double ok was a promo for equipment. Its in the literature of the day. I hope you get er goin without all the issues we ran into.
That's cool how the hay is fed into the chamber, never seen one fixed like that. Can't wait to see you use it.
Patience served you well.
Nice to have friends follow you home
Sweet video Ross. Looks like you got a great deal on the bailer. Can't wait to see it at work. Congrats. Ole Buddy is looking good. Thanks for sharing.
Ross, I think it's great that you see the value and invest in making this older equipment work again and give it new life. Congrats on the baler.
Very excited to see hay going in that gem!
You can get in your spring fields earlier if you drill winter rye grain after leveling your combine ruts (2-3bu/ac rate). Then in spring you are driving on roots and a straw mulch mat and can use the regen-ag system. Take a couple of acres this fall and experiment, might even use your range of smaller antique Oliver equipment to work that ground.
Great video and a really nice old baler. It has to make you somewhat happy and satisfied that you stuffed the guy who ran the auction price up. It's nice to see the good guys win once in a while. Also, good on you for having good traffic ettiquete. When I'm pulling my rake or haybine down the road I get so frustrated at the idiots who hug the yellow line approaching me when my impliments are over the line also.
Thats a good looking Bailer. Glad you finally got one .SEE
Looks like your patience paid off this time. Good deal on the baler.
Looks like it’s been very well taken care of! My dad had a 720 Oliver really low led the roto Flo feed it made a real good square bale. I’m still totally amazed how well your pickup turned out!! Cheap price and a very nice pickup.
Nice find! We have as many Dollar Generals as you do. It is so comforting. We also carry those OK decals you showed!
Excellent video again thanks for sharing nice purchase
Looks like a great baler,looking forward to the near future for a video on the baler in action
Nice find on the baler hope you get it working without much trouble
New Holland uses a feeder system that has fingers that pull the crop into the chamber. Ed Nolt, the inventor got the idea from a feeder system that was used to feed the straw from the threshing machine into the stationary baler. It seems like the older little square balers just aren't bringing much anymore. The last auction I was at some in usable condition were only bringing 400 bucks
proud you finally got an Oliver baler
I like that baler Mr. Ross! Always preferred
Square bales for some reason.
Good deal. Glad you got a second chance.👍👍👍👍👍
Tim Putt's book Checkerboard Grill Oliver Tractor & Equipment Ads Part 2 pictures that baler inspection sticker on pages 119 -122. 17 point inspection at the Shelbyville plant and a subsequent pre-delivery inspection made by a dealership serviceman.
FedEx does deliver everywhere!
I love my 520. Just a tip, take a pipe and bend those pickup tines like how your deere is on the ends. It'll feed a little better and they bend easily. I was wondering what happened to that old 50 or 60T you bought.
The FedEx driver was parked, taking a break to smoke a LEFT HANDED cigarette !! That’s a good one there Ross !
Nice bud got self another one
I think the worst baler was the International baler. I rode behind one of those a whole summer working for a local guy.
You got lots of rest repairing it. Haha
Great purchase 👍
I wish I could find one like that
I have a Hesston small square a little largercampaity it makes the best bales ever. They are square and very uniform always ties
That's awesome! Does this make it where you can make hay with 100% Oliver equipment?
That's a Shelbyville machine, probably a 1970 with the White decal. When they were moved to South Bend the cover over the roto-flo switched to white paint. Looking forward to seeing it in action
Awesome 😊
LOOKS GOOD
A 520! Glad you finally got an Oliver baler!
Hope to hay going thur that bailer
That’ll be a handy if it works!
Dads truck bed Seriously I’m sorry that happened. But on the other hand mmmm that will buff right out it may take a weekend to do an it may change color but buff out it will 😂.
Dadgum right, no use planting so it can rot in wet ground.
What a great find . Hope she’s a smooth operator . Great video Ross , see ya tomorrow
Check THE PLUNGER 24:16 STOP. BE SURE IT IS FREE
couple dozen neighbor's cows got on our place which is absolutely saturated, their hooves sunk about 10" into the soil, what a mess they made in a short time. No interest in compacting soils with equipment at the moment.
Roll it over by hand a nd check the timing before you use it.
Lol like me with nitro RC s
Most IH balers used McCormick knotters. A few of their very small balers used the Deering Knotters. I have a New Holland baler with the teeth mounted on a square tube moved by a large roller chain moving it across, up, back and down.
A 50T was a pretty big baler and a 445D was one of the biggest square balers you could buy at the time so I wouldn't call them small.
@dougrobertson5966 Did those balers have Deering knotters? The only IH baler I've personally seen without McCormick knotters was the 37 which kind of confirmed what I have read and been told. If that is not correct I don't want to be spreading misinformation. Maybe I'll have to amend it to IH used both.
Is that the yard on 50 east of Seymour?
Ross how old are you ??
Ross, sounds awesome that you got a sweet deal on your new toy 🤣🤣 thanks Michael
International had a slightly different knotter as well. Not sure how much different, but it was definitely slightly different.
We're in the same boat with the weather, very little field work yet. I got in 2 days till last night, we got another 2 in. Nothing planted yet! No hay cut yet either. In your photo of the missed baler sale, the pick up has considerably more white paint on it than this one. Are you sure it's the same one? Oliver had a better following with hay equipment than Deere, at least around here. As for breaking needles, just be sure that the safety latch in fully operable, before taking it out in the field. That alone is the biggest thing to protect the needles. I've repaired many broken balers over the years, The only broken needles on the balers built since the late 50s, was because the safety latch was either disabled or broken by the operator! As for the weather, Every thing will hit on the same time when it finally lets up on rain and the summer dry heat burns up every thing again! Happy Memorial Day Ross.
Nice find on the baler. Now we just need the rain to turn off for a while to get something done.
Congratulations with your new to you purchase, should be fun to get her all working, putting out some hay. I never ran one of those, ran Case square baler and a John Deere 24T, 336 and currently using a JD338. I liked the 24T baler the best, it makes an awesome bale, with little problems. I have seen the MF balers in action but never ran one, I do like the hay feed on them. Good luck with the Oliver 520 baler, I hope all goes well with it. Have a good Memorial Day, thanks to all Veterans!
Cool that you got it bought cheaper. I bought a 620 olly wire baler back about 95 for $200 and used it to bale straw and hay to sell at a local feed store. It only had holders for 2 boxes of wire so when it ran out on one side you learned to put 2 new boxes in it. It worked real well for me but I sold all my Square bale equipment in 2001. The guy who bought it pulled it home and apparently the needles sunk down and were in the chamber when he started it and it sheared them off. He never baled a bale with it and scrapped it.
Remember setting up these 520 balers. In 1969 we sold a number of them to the Amish farmers in the community. There was a optional Wisconsin 2 cylinder engine available in place of the pto. The 520 was light enough for the horses to pull and the balers worked well. The Roto Flow feeder worked well in most grass crops, however baling corn stalks didn’t work as well. Hesston eventually obtained this design from White and built square balers of this design. If you look at an early Hesston inline baler it has a lot of Oliver dna.
around here people use new holland twine over any thing else.
HI ROSS 😊😊 U got a good deal on the baler alot farm equipment didn't have grease fittings on the wheel caps U have 2 drill them out and tap them and put grease fittings yourself 😊😊 grandpa did many years ago when he was cutting and baleing hay the hay 2 day isn't like it use 2 be years ago U use 2 be able 2 get 6 cuttings of hay a year not no more now U do good if U get 3 cuttings U are lucky 🍀 😊 IVE only seen hay cut in October 2 or 3 times be 4 and that's very seldom 😊😊 5 27 2O24
You should do exactly what you what to do
Ross I had a 62 T and it makes the most beautiful bales because the rolabar is a smooth steady feed into the bale chamber.👍
older balers had a slower gearbox stroke so wider slices of hay i grew up with jd336 dad bought new but years of wear i replaced every part on the knotters it still missed a knot every 15 bales had deere service guy come to the field he said it was out of time roller chains were badly worn then that fix it if you make wide turns can pile bales on a 18ft hay wagon i hired neighbor kids $13/hr to unload loads when they got home from school while i milked cows was kind of nice 2 jobs getting done same time these days it rains every 12 hours
Nice video Ross, glad you got the baler.
Cool
Dollar Generals are certainly exploding. There's 3 within 10 miles of me. Two of them are only 4 miles apart
One of them just sold up and Michigan. Look like brand new for a thousand bucks
You got a second chance, and a great buy! You should go buy a handful of lotto tickets! 😂. Did Oliver ever produce a stationary baler? I'm not a JD collector, but I do have an old stationary JD baler. I have used it belted to my RC Allis. Not much to fail on those, the knotter is whoever is crazy enough to stand there in the hot sun and dust and feed the wires and twist them! 😅
Hey, Jim, I'd watch a video of that.
Yes Oliver made a stationary baler. It was a continuation of an Ann Arbor one, as mine is tagged Oliver Ann Arbor
I'm glad you got an oliver baler buddy
Needs a paint 🎨 job. / A 720 is better 👨🌾
Nice baler. For a time we had a 620 Oliver baler. Only thing we wish it had was the longer tongue and 3 joint PTO. Ran over a bit too much hay with the short drive line.
I see there is another 520 on market place near Berne for $500
I bet a bunch of those drivers gave you the "You are number one" gesture. Polish the twister parts so the string will slide where it is supposed to be. Give it some love with a grease gun, and some oiling. Give it a spray with a rust converter.
One experience I had with a 520 baler was when I was in through the back panel changing rollers and adjusting the knife, and a guy started turning the flywheel. I about got a beheading and almost a haircut as I jerked myself back as the plunger was coming my way. I came as close to pounding that guy as I ever did, well with one exception where I did. NEVER knock the ladder out from a guy working on a combine....
I think generally the best practice is to no till for a few years and then do some vertical tillage on year. It seems like no till starts holding too much water after year 3-5.
Ouch Ron, that poor Dodge 😢 no good deed goes unpunished.
Now I don't feel so bad Ross. I have all my corn ground ready but we got 1.5 inches of rain yesterday.
Hi Ross always Love the videos have wonderful Memorial Day
Looks like a good buy Ross, But dont forget there are 2 more to be had ! Bandit
Great deal Ross, I am glad you were able to get that baler after all. It looks nice and straight, you can tell it was taken care of by the previous owner. Can't wait to see it baling in your field and also when you Rossify it and make it more better. Thanks for another great video.
Dollar general yes stop and get pretzels and the clover valley peanut butter with honey jar awsome snack.
We had 336, 327, and 348, John Deere kicker balers and they have worked well. About the only thing they seemed to have trouble with was a light hay crop. I've never seen an Oliver baler up close but the guy who helps with some of my hay had an Oliver baler with a thrower. We used to put up 15,000 bales a year for dairy cows and sheep but for some strange reason I still like to do it. Helps that I can actually make money doing it.
Good looking old baler Lets haul some square bales Lol.
No Sir, every day you post for us is a glorious day.
Ross, New Holland used forks also.
Wasn't there a MM version of that called a 1420?
Going to be lot of preventative plant after this week
