1086 I-H (big enough to run a 3 x 4 baler)?

I am ready to update to a larger bale format and be done with small bales. Who has experience with running a 3 x 4 baler with a 1086. Can this tractor handle the baler? Are the hydraulics robust enough? Is the draw-bar husky enough? The 1086 is rated about 120 HP, is that enough. If the 1086 is not a good choice, is a 1466 or 1466 a good alternative?

Years ago I spent a season running a Hesston 4790 3x4 baler behind a 135hp CaseIH 8910. When running for maximum capacity you could easily put the tractor on its knees but if you're not in a huge hurry 120hp would probably be enough. I often had a 3-bale accumulator on the back that put an additional load on the tractor; with only 120hp I would not recommend this attachment unless your fields are really flat and firm. To have your capacity be baler-limited instead of power-limited takes a good 160hp.

There isn't too much hydraulic load with these machines, just the pickup lift and the supply for the chamber tension system. The Hesstons can be configured for open- or closed-center systems and I assume other brands can be as well.

The tongue weight is substantial and in rough ground there is a lot of bouncing which can be hard on drawbars. I've seen some folks run a chain between the lift arms and under the drawbar to help carry the weight. I didn't have any kind of support on the 8910 drawbar and 10000+ bales later it was still straight so if you compare that bar's thickness and cantilever length it might give you something to reference your tractor against. (Won't tell you anything about the material strength but it might give you some idea at least.)

The 1086 put out 135 hp at Nebraska. Some had 140-145 on the Dyno at factory settings. I would chain the drawbar like what was mentioned.

I wouldn't. On our hill ground a 3X4 will push around a fully weighted 1486 (front end suticases and rear weights and fluid).

Does your baler have the thing that chops the hay before baling it or not? If it does, you are going to need 200 HP or more... if not, you are borderline.... this came from a guy I have breakfast with most days. He used to have several irrigated quarters of hay, mostly alfalfa and 1/2 dozen tractor baler rigs, round and big square. he had mostly JD 4450s and 4455s and no chopper attachment in the 3x4s. Said if they had that, the 4455 would not come close.
