Was in our local NewHolland dealer yesterday.Got to discussing haying equipment. I was told that this year,New Holand has discontinued Pull behind stackwagons and all sickle bar mowers.The 1037 was/is the last PT stack wagon(at $62,000).Even the old 3point mower that has been aruond forever is now gone.OK boys,take good care of your equipment,it has now become obsolete/irreplacable.....

That makes'em valuable collectors items don't it?

Values just tripled! You can bet some will use that to justify their higher price when they go to sell one of the two. I know they are sold just not around me but I wonder how many of the new stackwagons have been sold each year for the past say 5 years?? There are a few old pull type models around here and there use to be one selfpropelled model but I haven't seen it in 10 years or more. Not a lot of square baled hay left around here. If there is most have some type of an accumlator that they run on the back of the baler.

Ok... So what are they going to use from here on? :?

I do not see how they could sell very many that only move 104 bales for $62K.

Also the sickle bar mower has been replaced by better ways to mow. I would bet that most dealers have not sold a new sickle bar mower in years. I know I never have sold a new one in all the years I have been around a dealership.

Anybody I see that is going to have the volume to justify a new stackwagon is going to go self propelled. I imagine it will be a long time before they get discontinued.

Kosch still makes a sickle mower, and Rowse makes a clone of the last New Idea/CaseIH mower (or at least they did as of this spring). There are those double reciprocating bar imports under a variety of names as well. I haven't seen hay mowed with a sickle bar in years around here. There's a few around for mowing sides of ditchbanks and clipping pastures yet.

Wow! Cheaper to buy a big square baler than a 1037!

Self-propelled stack wagons are very much alive and well in the southwest. I just wrapped up a business trip in the El Centro, CA area (100 miles east of San Diego right on the Mexican border) and they are everywhere. 3-string balers are popular in that area, mostly Hesstons and a few Freemans. These bales weigh around 130 lbs so mechanical handling is the only option. Many of them go compactors to increase the density then get loaded into containers headed to Asia.

Small farms like mine can't justify buying anything "New", and i certainly could not justify purchasing or trying to maintain a disc mower for 50 acres of hay. I guess i will have to make sure i take good care of my 1465 and my ancient 1010 stack wagon.
