I see on the photo ads there is a IH demonstrator bailer for sale. I know they made demonstrator tractors but I never heard of demonstrator implements.
 
Ah they weren't i learned to swear running a 47 . From day one that thing would not tie every bale . Dealer made many trips out to work on it , they even bought the factory guy out . They end up taking it back and a New Holland was put into service from another dealer and it was a 68 . It just pounded out bale after bale . Years past and a close friend bought a 435 Brand new fro0m the same dealer that sold the 47 and here once again a baler that would not tie a bale , and again many service calls factory man bought out , taken back to the dealer they worked on it b rought it back and it made three bales skip two make one skip three . Took it back and set out a 440 and ya could make MOSt of the day before it went on ok let tick someone of and start skip tying every other bale.
 
I would not even consider an IH square baler. Neighbor had on I worked for him one day since his kids were all shoing at the fair that day. Whay a piece of junk. IF the straw was even a little bit tough it would skip till it got to dry straw. what a mess straightening that out about 6or 8 times a day this was just one day. I would get a New Holland or a Deere. I say this and we have never owned a square baler in our life here. Just round balers.
 
That was the kind of luck with the 45 T,LOL,but there was one 47,a older guy had, he got a long fine with it,he eventually bought a New Holland bale wagon, he made nice stackes with it.

Guy we traded help with baling hay & straw had a IH 55T baler with the C-135 A,B,C engine for power, was nice being able to idle along with his Allis WD-45, or D-17 or D-19 while baling. But sometimes our 3-man crew was stretched with me driving, neighbor on the rack and Dad sitting on the left side twine box tinkering with the knitters. The 55-T got parked and Dad sent me to get the baler but when I opened the neighbor's she'd door there was this teeny-tiny little thing, a pto IH #37, I hooked my Super H to it and it wasn't 100% perfect tying but probably 90-95%, got the 20 acres of alfalfa baled in 3-4 hours, only two racks, bale two and unload them both, bale two more, etc. The #55 made HUGE bales and the 37 were more like hay cubes. That was the last time Dad and I ever baled together. We blew all the dust and chaff off the baler and I took it back and put it in the neighbor's shed. The SH pulled that little baler great, about 1400-1500 rpm in 2nd gear. I think 3rd gear would have been too fast.
 
The 27 is a bit of an oddball. The chamber size is smaller than the standard (normally 14 high by 18 wide). Parts are hard to find for the 37 and 47 balers - would be extremely hard to find for a 27.

I grew up with dad having a 37 baler with the old knotters on it. I think that's where I learned to swear. Those knotters were problematic at best and until IH went to the All Twine knotters their balers were second rate. When the 440 and 430 balers came out originally they still had the old knotters on them - after a year or two of production the ALL Twine came out and they suddenly became first rate balers. A lot of All Twine knotters were retrofitted on the earlier 440 and 430 balers and the 47 and 37 balers.
 
We had a 50 T, I dont remember it missed tying that much but it had that little cub engine on it and if you killed it when hot, we got a one hour break because it took one hour to cool off so it would start again!

The 27 baler was made from 1965 to 1968 so it has nothing to do with the original white demo program of 1950, or even the gold demo program of 1970, or even the brass tacks demo program run during the 460-560 series production.
