I know a guy that has a 770 he is thinking about selling. Can anyone tell me some good things and bad things about this tractor. What are they rated for horse power? How hard would it be on gas say running a 9 ft. haybine or square baler? The tractor itself is in good condition, but I think it could use a set of rings. What would be the going price for this type of tractor?? Thanks for you replies and help, Brandon

I get much better mileage than firedog says he got. Maybe I don't crank it up as high. I run a 9' IH 990 at about 1400 rpm and it is very efficient. I am down to about 44 hp on the pto. I would make sure you run it through all the gears to make sure you don't hear any loud gears. It should run smooth and strong without smoke. Listen to the axle and PTO bearings. Check the steering for loose components. I would question the seller about his maintenance schedule to see if he had any. Fluids should have been changed every year at least. They had options such as the power booster (which is like a low & high range), power traction hitch vs. the straight drawbar, and power steering. They also came with a narrow front, an adjustable wide, a standard row crop and wheatland which both had non-adjustable solid front axles, an industrial, and the orchard version, which both used the same straight front axle. Price is what you can get it for. It all depends on options, condition, location, model, how complete and original it is, how bad you want it, and how bad the seller wants to sell it. Good luck.

Brandon,
We used the 770 gas on a NH 9ft haybine for years and also on the baler. The Power Booster was a nice touch on heavy corners. When we plowed with a 3x plow, we used about 5/gal an hour. We also had a Super 77 Diesal and it used only 1/2 the amount of fuel on the haybine that the 770 used.
Both were great tractors in their day. I still have the 770 today. Pop bought it new with a 3x14 semi-mounted plow in 1959.

The 770 was produced from 1958-70. It replaced the Super 77 and several improvements were added such as higher hp, power steering, and power booster drive. According to Nebraska tests the tractor developed 50.04 pto hp and 45.0 drawbar hp. The tractor weighs 5565lbs. The 770 was a great tractor and one that is mechanically sound will give you years of service. As for the gas part, if the tractor is in use constantly it will be costly but for baling etc it will be perfect. The price could be anyones guess and what the market will bear. Most price give the following:
poor-fair condition-$2150
Good -$3400
Premium -$4220+
