The 1068 model "2-wide" was a revolutionary design when it debuted in 1977.  Along with its sister machines the 1069 and 1075 they were a sucessful replacement for the 1048/49 models and were in production until 1988.  Being a fully mechanical machine, the 1068 offers simplicity and speed thanks to updated hydraulics and powerplant options.  Optionally the 1068 was equipped with either the Ford 460 V-8 gas engine or the Perkins diesel for power, a 4-speed or 5-speed manual transmission, the 2-speed rear axle was standard, but the front axle came with some heavier duty options later in the production run.  The operator's cab was completely redesigned with a better control and seating arrangement, and was offered with air-conditioning for the first time.  Set up for a "2-wide" bale configuration, the 1068 was designed to haul 2 and 3-string bales 39"-48" in length.  Load rack capacity is (69) 3-string bales, (89) 16"x18" bales, or (106) 14"x18" bales.  The 1068 is one of our most popular models, offering simplicity, speed, and ease of operation, without the high cost of newer models.  We offer the 1068 in various conditions from "auction condition" to fully reconditioned models to meet you budgetary and operational needs.  Give us a call today to find out our current inventory and to get the process started.
