McCormick #56W Baler

[truckfarmer49]

Any opinions or information out there on a McCormick #56W baler?

Big,enormous heavy machine. With a huge appetite for hay.They make an oddball 15"x19" bale.Obsolete in todays world,but a force to be reckoned with in the day. My father-in-law had 3 of them once.2 with an 'A' engine,one with PTO drive,pulled by a 300. I still have a 55W.

I left a comment on the implement board, pretty much agreeing with Deltared. Will add "heavy" as in avoid soft ground
