 Topic: 200 baler
Posted: 16 Jan 2021 at 6:22am |
When I was a little kid, I would say somewhere around 1960, my grandfather bought a new Allis Chalmers 200 baler. It was a PTO baler that replaced a Roanoke baler with a Wisconsin engine. It was used several years, until it was replaced with a 302.
I have seen lots of posts about 302, 303, 442, 443 and 444 balers (I think there may have been a 300, too ?). I heard my Dad say that Debyah Farm Implements in North Bangor, NY, where my grandfather bought it, sold only two 200 balers. For some reason, I think it may have been an imported baler, but I'm not sure about that.
As I remember it, it was a pretty good baler, but IIRC, it was hard to get parts for, which was the reason it was traded for the 302. Has anyone else ever heard of a 200 baler ?

The model 200 square baler was A-C's first in 1962. It was manufactured by the Jones Baler Company of Mold Wales, U.K. A-C bought out this company and made it part of Allis. It was only offered in 1962 and early 1963 as the LaPorte built model 303 replaced it in late 1963.

We have a 200 baler that we purchased about eight years ago. Have never used it,but the previous owner baled about a thousand bales the year before we bought it. He was in his eighties and had purchased the baler new and his wife said it was time to slow down.

Just last week I noticed that Dale Mayer had a 200 baler parts manual for sale on FB. Did some quick research and found similar info as Dr Allis posted. Bought the manual from Dale and also an operators manual on Febay. Should have them this week for the build of a model. I realized that I haven't build a model of a square baler from scratch so it moved to the top of the build list.. Armand
