I know a VAC does not have live power but does it have the stuff to pull a small new holland square baler in hay that is not real thick

D Dave,

I've pulled a super 69 with a vac and a vai. Small windrows and some "speed shifting" and it will work. Won't be the heaviest bales around and wont be fast but it will work and the 69 made a pretty bale. Dropped ours on the ground so didn't have to pull a wagon load of hay. Where there is a will, there is a way.

It depends what model baler you are using. We used an Allis B once to bale with our NH 66 With its own engine on it in a pinch and it worked great. A lot of the small NH balers were available with power units on them you might be able to do this with yours this would solve your horse power problem and your live pto problem. My 66 has a 2 cyl Wisconsin 16 horse on it. T.J. Ps. a Vac is a great little tractor had a lot of hours on a Va bush hogging as a kid lots of good memories of that little machine.

I have baled hay with a VAC-14 pulling a Case 230 baler. Just watch out if you have a hilly farm. The farm I baled hay on was a little hilly and you had to watch what you were doing. The VAC had plenty of power,but was a little light for pulling a baler and a load of hay up hills.

Larry, How about the 230 baler. would like to have one for my vac just for nostalgic ? reasons. Lot's of folks really talk them down. That ought to realy make one reasonable to buy though.

Have a good one.

We used to bale with a Farmall C which is roughly equivalent. Had (still have) a Ford baler, PTO driven.
My answer would be "yes". A VAC has about 18 or so HP.
