Need an opinion. Friend offered me his very well maintained NH 273 baler and JD 1209 moco. Wondering if my 550 will be enough tractor for the 1209. I'm not worried about the 273 as I don't have hills to worry about and am only going to bale about 2500 bales with it. I'm not sure about this 1209 though. Might be too much for the tractor. The 550 is a gasser and is pretty strong but I don't want to beat it up either.
 
Your 550 will do the job, but there wont be any to spare. If your hay is thick on the 1st cut, you probably will have to go pretty slow. I have pulled a 9' Hesston around with my 770, but the 1655 goes MUCH better!
