NH Super 77 Baler

a4t1rat · Oct 28, 2008

Well I ran across a NH Super 77 baler with a V4 wisconson engine on it. the owner parked it years ago and wants me to haul it away for scrap. i told him I would give him scrap price for it and hang on to it. so now my question is there anyone that collects these I would hate to end up taking it in. It is good shape. I have no use for it but I thought someone might.

I'd love to have one like that but your probably to far from me and I also probably can't afford it to boot. I have always wanted a bale with its own engine

Old,

Take it from someone who used a baler with an engine, you don't want one. That is just an extra engine to maintain. Engine runs at a constant speed all the time, no slowing down for changing conditions or if you don't want to run the engine that fast. The baler I used was a NH super 77, BTW, and they were great balers in their day. Cost about 2k when new. Made good, well shaped bales. Did not have the capacity of later cross feed balers like the 68 series. The v4 Wisconsin engine sounded sweet when running good, but they could be the devil to crank especially when hot. A good hot magneto and a clean carb were necessary.

I spent a couple years in the early 80"s behind one stacking hay for my neighbor. He pulled the baler and attached wagon with a John Deere R that had cane tires mounted on the rear wheels. He still has the baler and the R.

I just found a shedded Super 77 NH with Wisconsin 12 miles away and am trying to buy it.Another is coming up on a farm sale 20 miles away next week and I hope to get it.

Scrap is down to $30 a ton here so all the junkers have quit.Do your best to save this one.Its too bad that you live so far away from most of us.The old 77 NH's were the best baler in their day but most are long gone.

I have heard that the Amish like them a lot since they can just use horses with it.
