I baled MANY bales using a roto baler and a WD. This was back in the mid-60s. The WD never once grunted or snorted. I'd agree with those who say a CA will easily pull one. About 25 HP would be plenty. As said earlier, you really want a tractor with a live PTO.

AC use a CA a lot when advertising the balers. A CA would be about 25 hp. Back when I was a kid we owned a CA, a WD and a WD45. Never baled with the CA. Baled very little with the WD. Almost always used the WD45 and in heavy hay the baler was sometimes all it wanted. Guess you could always make smaller windrows if you are a little lite on power.

AC WC has plenty of power (24/29 hp), but the WD with the live pto is a handier unit.

If your planing to bale lots of hay with it a WD or 45 any thing else and you'll want to push it off in the river after a days baling the WDs was made for this baler and the allcrop combine.never tried any other tractor that wasn't like wearing your shoes on the wrong feet including the d series tractors

After WWII my Dad had to be on a list, like everyone else, to buy farm equipment. In '48 he got the Roto-Baler. He ran it with a WC (no live power) until 1956, when he bought the WD45. He got the Model 60 Combine in '49, and ran it with the WC until he got the WD45- the next year he got the Model 66. (1957). We were always glad to have the equipment we could afford, and the live power pto on the WD45 was a Godsend. Now- people with a few acres cannot understand how farmers from a few decades ago FED this country with the equipment that we had to work with.

I know what you mean. I remember when the farmer around here thought those things were great. As for wondering about how things got done, a friend of mine had a few acres and let some guys put it up for hay on the share a little while back. He said they showed up around eight AM and greased and seviced and fueled up then took off for the coffee shop around 9:30 got back after about an hour then left about 11:30 for lunch got back around 1:00 took a coffee break around 3:oo. And were gone by 5:00 and belly ached the whole time how hard it was to get anything done with old equipment. A lot of the old timers would have three or four acres plowed in the morning by the time a lot of these guys get to the field.
