Trip to cotswolds yesterday to save this Allis Rota Baler from the scrap man, been sat in a shed for many years it was all that was holding the barn up apparently. Got it home and it ran up fine. There are 3 others local to me we are planning to get all 4 side by side in the summer which will be a sight to see!

 

[Cab-over Pete]

I wonder why they designed it to the nearside?

Perhaps they had foresight to see that tractors in the future would be so cluttered up with gadgets, gizmos and screens plastering the right hand side of the cab so you struggle to see the swath as it gets nearer tp the pickup

I wouldnt try it behind an axial flow or TF, seems not much there to get it onto the elevator.

A Bigger swath on them seems to feed better for some reason, it likes them bigger! Found that mine might be a bit more unique than the others and could be a later white top model which could be one of few, or even only one in country but would love to find out!

I find working my one with the ED40 very awkward, Trying to pull the hand clutch with your right hand and looking over your left shoulder. A double foot clutch is much easier.
