So is the equipment in Northern New Jersey (assuming that's what "NNJ" means) or Cooperstown NY?
There is quite a bit of agriculture in Northern New Jersey, so there should be auctioneers in the area that deal with tools and equipment on a regular basis. That's where "Timmycornpicker" an occasional poster on this site, lives, so he may have some suggestions.
Dragged out of the weeds, non-running, you need to be realistic on value here. If you can get the equipment running, up on inflated tires, and somewhat cleaned up, you will get maximum value. You have to figure in the time and money spent to do that; you may get more for the equipment but if you spend more getting it running than you get from selling it, what was the point? Further do you have the time and knowledge to do the work yourself? Hiring someone to get everything running is not worth it. It's often better to just let the equipment go as-is and take what you get.
I would talk to at least one, if not two or three, auctioneers. Have them come and do an appraisal and see if they're interested in either doing an auction for you or taking the equipment on consignment for their next big sale. Many auctioneers do online consignment auctions every month and will list your items. Even for non-running stuff, online sales get the best money because they reach a wider audience.
Another alternative is to find someone to buy the entire thing in one lot. These are often "scrap men" and some of them will cut it all up and send it to China, but others are more selective and will part out or sell off the useful, saleable pieces. The advantage here is you're rid of it all in one fell swoop.
I imagine you can't be there to sell things off piecemeal yourself. You live a distance away, have a job and a family... and you can't waste entire days dealing with tire kickers and no-shows... and it take months or years to get rid of everything... and having to send half of it for scrap anyway. Some of these guys will try to condemn you for calling the scrapper but there is no shame in it.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
