RR Valley, ND; MN native | I rode the rack and stacked a lot of loads behind a NH 66. It was PTO drive and well worn. Was still in use in the mid 80s before Dad got a NH 273?? (not sure anymore). I was told Dad and a neighbor went in together on it in '56 and shared it until the neighbor sold his cows around 1980 or so. So, it baled for 2 farms for nearly 25yrs and then 1 farm for another 8+ or so. The tines had been welded up a couple of times and the ceramic fence insulators used as guides for the twine had been rotated to fresh spots more than once too when a deep groove was worn in.
Sat in the woods for several years until the retirement auction and I think it brought like $50; which I was surprised at the time. | |
