Rare baler for sale, left hand pick up reel

[Devil's advocate]

Wilby's of Barnsley are having a farm sale & included is a very rare New Holland baler with the pick up reel on the left hand side rather than the right hand side. I would say early 80's model. Must be very rare.

I have a left hand plough for sale. Made specially for us, can't remember make but it is green. A good plough, makes a nice job, three furrow.
We had steep fields and the other plough was shifting all the soil to the other end of the fields. (nobody thought to buy a reversible instead)

Have you seen the baler or is it a photo

Could it be just how the phot comes out . My daughter put a picture of her at a clay ground shooting but it shows her shooting left handed when she only shoots right handed . Never trust a photo from a phone a Chinks made .

 

[db9go]

That is my thinking as some years ago there was a photo going about of a combine with right handed unloading auger what it was they had used the negative the other way round or some thing like that

I have had a look at their auctions on line and can see no sign of it. Their is a conventional New Holland baler, but that is all. Certainly in the 1960’s there were left handed balers and combines mainly from Allis Chalmers and John Deere but have not seen any since

iPhones contain many components from China.

Is it a Dowdeswell? I remember a one off left handed plough they made being featured in a magazine or brochure years ago

That will be the one. It was in a magazine at the time.

Yes it is a photo error, New Holland is backwards in the sales brochure photo. Customer looked at it here & thought it was a photo taken into a mirror.

Had me scratching my head for an hour.

Oh so they did exist, for left handers?

Allis roto balers were left handed ans so were some of their early combines. JD’s early trailed series were again left hookers. My father owned one but I had forgotten till a post on facebook earlier this year which I queried as I thought it was a reverse image. The owner confirmed he was definite that it was correct as they still used it!

 

[tomlad]

Did a db baler discharge to the side , like dump it in the dyke ?

 

[agrimax]

Yes,the DB Albion baler.

The early 1950's New Holland balers had a left hand pick-up, forget the model number.

Not if you went around the field the other way around

so the next swath then!

David Browns were a very far sighted company, they knew that one day combines would be 40’ feet wide and this would not be an issue then
