New Holland 77 Value??

kutzy23 · Jul 16, 2013

I have a New Holland 77 square baler and I would like to get rid of. Its always been in the shed. It has a Wisconsin V4 on it and it runs well. Any ideas on value? It was dad's and i have no use for it.

Weight x scrap price?

Baisicly scrap iron.That's a big obsolete beast that
nobody will want as a 'user'.That said,find a
'collector' or club or something.Or donate it to a
local 'museum'.PLEASE dont scrap it!!!

Get that old Wisconsin good and hot, then tell me how easy it starts! 'Nuff said!

Amish May want it, They think a 4 cly Wis. is the best thing since slice bread.

If that Wisconsin has been sitting a long time in the shed and still turns over be careful if you try to start it. I bought a Wisconsin hand cranker that was on a Case A6 combine. I filed the points and put gas in it but it wouldn't start by hand cranking. So I put a big drill on the end of the crankshaft and pulled the trigger. One piston sucked in a big gulp of dry powdered rust and when it hit the top the rust compressed and broke the piston. Not a good 'start' to the project. I threw in a used piston and it still runs today pulling a hydraulic pump. Jim

Sold one just like it 2-3 years ago to a collector, had been in shed all it's life. Got $300. He got it going for shows etc.

Its a good baler. just ran 2 years ago and never missed a bale. I hate to scrap it. But it looks like there isn't much interest in it thats prolly where it'll end up in the scrap. And i know how much fun those Wisconsins are when they're hot, they'll make you use every cuss word in your vocabulary!!!!

That is a big old beast.

You might try agricultural fairs or old iron exibits, museum, living history center etc. You may be able to take a donation as a tax credit!!!

I would love to have it although I have two of
them but I am in east texas where are you at?

I have a New Holland 77 and I need some parts for the old girl. If you should decide to scrap it, please let me know I could sure use some parts off of your baler. I've used mine for years and it's a great baler. Big and heavy but it can sure punch out the bales.

Thanks,
Dick

I sold one last year for $500. Same story, Dad bought it brand new, along with a pallet of twine, I still have the receipt. Baled hundreds of thousands of bales. Had the Wisc. with electric start and a distributor, always started and ran good, duals both sides, never sat out a night in it's life. I used it untill the mid eighties or so. Just taking up room in the shed, had to go. It's at the Nowthen Threshing Show.
