Wow, never heard of one. What a beast!!

Looks like that particular "New Idea" was a bad Idea. I'd like to have the Wisconsin engine though !

I’ve got an Oliver 100 baler with that same engine. Notice the screen in front of the air intake to keep hay and dust out of the engine.

That would have been coming home with me. It's a very rare NI baler. One there was a major recall on & a couple people did not return theirs.

I saw a nice one of those at the Half Century Of Progress in 2017. like Mike said, they were all supposed to be sent back to the company, probably for scrapping. Definitely worth trying to salvage.

New Idea started with a better beater design for manure spreaders in the late 1800s. The company had several good ideas and successful products in their 100 plus years, but much like me not every new idea was a good idea.

Avoiding patents was the name of the game in that design...

Pushing the hay into the baler pickup with your feet? The guy might’ve eventually been nicknamed “Stumpy”. If he was lucky.
I’m somewhat attracted to oddball farm equipment. I wouldn’t mind having either the New Idea baler or the one in the video.

Maybe was supposed to be competition for the NH 77?

We had a Model 64 John Deere field chopper with that motor. Loved to hear the governor "dig in" when it came to a thick patch ! Still remember the sound, 60 years later.

As far as rare balers go, there will be 2 Ferguson balers on an auction this saturday west of KC. This fits side by side with a Ferguson tractor. Not only were few made, but most were bought back by the company. Supposedly only 8 or 10 still around and this guy has 2. He had a lot of ferguson stuff and it all looks junky, but both balers look brand new.
