Want your opinion on the best haying tractor

I'd like to find out a few good tractors that would be good for pulling a 5x6 round baler, 9' discbine, and a 15' batwing mower. I'd prefer the tractor to have at least 90 hp at the pto and have a cab as well. Any year is fine, but parts should be easily to get.
 
IH Hydro!!826,1026,Hydro100,186.I have a 826 Hydro-
LOVE IT!

What dod you have for local dealers? Dealer support should be a factor. I would agree that a Hydro would be great. Balers are hard on clutches.
 
JDB is correct; nearest "helpful" dealer is first consideration then
anything with a powershift, hydro, TA,COM, so speed can be
adjusted without clutching and stopping.
 

I drove my friends IHC 986. It was difficult to get on/off,hard to get in gear and operate scv's. Other than that it was good on fuel. I'll stick to my JD 4255.
 
I"ve made thousands of bales with a 1486. I have no problem getting it in gear or operating the scvs. I would rather get in and out of my backwards door(s) than a sound guard cab.
 
How much $$ are we playin" with???

LOTS of tractors come to mind,but all have different prices.

And I'd rather operate the gearshift and remote handles that are nearly level with the seat arm rest that are on a JD than lean over next to the floor to operate the same thing on an IHC. I agree that the safest way to exit a 986 model IHC is "backwards".
 
76/7710 Ford, though they are a few horses shy of 90
(if stock). My cousin did custom round baling for
several years with a 7710. Worked well. TW5 or 15
might be a little better on the discbine.
 
I was HOPING it was NOT alflafa for that reason. But looks like an uncut alfalfa patch in the back.
 
Ford 7710. Give the screw half a turn and it will make the 90 easily.
Discbine and baler should be no issue anyhow. Batwing might be a load in heavy going...

Only 3 votes on here for ford. I thought that was strange, ??someone years ago told me a Deere will work circles around a ford? I just laughed. In tractor pulling they say "nothing runs like a Deere except a bad aZz international! Or how do u kill a Deere? With a magnum! Lol
 
I second that Hydro nomination. The IH Hydrostatic drive tractors are/were the best tractor ever designed for doing haying type work.

Since no one has mentioned it.. Lets just get a new 9540 4 whel cab Kubota o and add the loader.
 
Well since you gave us a blank check to work with here goes:
1) JD 7410
2) JD 4050 or JD 4055
3) White 2-105
4) White Agco 120
5) Ford 7710
older ones
1) JD 4230
2) JD 4320 Cab not the best on these but run sweet
3) IH 186 Hydro: Hydro is great. The cab is terrible
