In the shop this week, a Wisconsin THD Hay baler engine! In years past, these were the engine of choice for small, engine driven balers. They are; heavy duty, simple, no electronics, no battery, and hand start (by spinning the wheel on the end of the crankshaft) Over time they are slowly being replaced with lighter more modern Honda or Vanguard electric start engines. We think its still hard to beat a well tuned Wisconsin.
