I have a cockshutt 1650, its around 60 horse. Would it pull a round baler ok? I've never round baled hay with a smalll tractor before so how much hp. do you actually need to run it. I like the 1650 and I don't want to wreck it, the motor has been rebuilt, and it has 1000 hrs on it.

Thanks, Paul

I have a friend who owns an Oliver 1650 diesel which I understand is basically the same as Cockshutt 1650 . My friend runs Vermeer 5 by 6 round baler turned down to make 5 x 5 bales with no problems .

You should be able to pull up to 5x6 ok as long as there are no major (steep) hills. I guess bale weight should not exceed 1500lbs. Would not hurt to have fluid in tires. HP is not as important as weight, but you need sufficient power. Oftentimes, manufacturers reccommend lot's of HP since modern tractors have a tendecy to be light with all the plastic and fibelrgalss rather than sheet metal.

Ipulled mine with a 50 horse on flatland in Wis A bigger problem is having enough weight to hold the weight of the bale and the baler on hills if you have them.

There are round balers and then there are round balers.The real question is how many horespower does YOUR round baler require? The manufacturer can tell you.

I agree with Ollie. My Vermeer 504G (5x4 1,000 lb bale) pulls relatively hard as it wraps the bale very tightly. It gives my 70hp tractor all it can handle. I have used my neighbor's Claas round baler that makes the same size of round bale, but the Claas wraps the bale "looser" and it has less weight. The Claas can be pulled easily with a 50hp utility tractor. Pay attention to the specific baler's requirements and happy baling!
