2012 And Beyond

Yeah, I have been gone…away…missing…..is anybody reading the blog anymore?  If you are you must be desperate for reading material!…

Well a lot has happened since the last post…two more job changes, one relocation, an addition to the family…The rebuilds are one down and the other almost done. The IH 37 Disc…well there is always hope I can get it done this winter…

But some good news…I am hopeful to have a bona fide all-crop harvester discussion board set up in the next month or so. So that means this blog will be replaced by the forum…We have relocated back near the farmstead so I am no longer a “exiled hobby farmer”.  The parts business is being restocked at the farmstead which will be of great benefit.  Also planning on  a LOT of new parts on the shelf…so things are looking up; this will probably be the last post here.  Look for a link to the new discussion forum at www.allcropharvester.com soon….

 

Roto-Baler Standard vs Model 10

As I continue to learn about the Allis Roto-Baler, here is a factoid I learned from Jim Palmer…As opposed to the “Standard” model, the “Model 10” Roto-baler featured a second conveyor mounted above the regular hay pickup.  When a twine was being wrapped, the hay was diverted to this upper conveyor. This was supposed to eliminate the need to stop during twine wrapping. Didnt work very good and many were converted back to the Standard arrangment. These Model 10’s were denoted with a “C” prefix in the serial number.
