Dad’s New Holland 166 Self-Propelled Baler
Here’s a photo of my dad’s New Holland 166 self-propelled baler. The last time we had it running was a year or two ago when we took it to the world plowing championships near Methven, New Zealand. I still have the baler’s original operator’s handbook and parts catalog as well as the original wrenches and grease gun.
    It’s great to see that some of these rare self-propelled balers have survived the test of time, especially when so few were ever built – only 305, I believe. Our baler has the serial number 1276. According to New Holland, their first self-propelled baler was produced on July 30, 1956 and the last one in April of 1957.
