We had a neighborhood baling ring where one neighbor owned the baler and tractor and the rest of us did the labor and furnished the racks. The owner of the baler and I were the ones on the rack so I didn't see a whole lot of stacking in the barn. We put up maybe 12000 bales of hay and a couple thousand of straw a year on average. This arrangement started in the late 40's with a Case hand wire tie baler, then a 14T Deere came into the scene in probably 1959 pulled by a JD 60 that was replaced by a 730 gas. The 14T was replaced with a 24T in 1966 and a 336 in about 1972. The neighborhood kid who was old enough to drive a baler but not big enough to stack drove the baler for a couple of years until the next kid came along. I must have started driving in 1963 and drove for four years or so, till I 'graduated' to the rack.
The baler owner I worked with was in his upper fifties to maybe sixty at the end of our baling days and I was probably in my middle twenties, but he could outwork me. He was overweight and drank too much beer too! It was humiliating to say the least! Jim
