Avery: Don't think I'm suposed to respond, had it all typed once and power went off. As Ramon said, yes I did bale a few loads of hay with Farmall 130. This was marterial that got too dry for haylage. I didn't want to pull 300, 560 and 656 off haylage. I turned it with the rake. Later I hooked onto NH S-69 pto baler with thrower. Ground was level so I thought what the heck, I'll hook wagon on. I baled a few loads several different times. I wouldn't want to tackle a lot of hay that way, but 500 bales per day would be no problem. I had an uncle with a 20 cow dairy herd. He did all his work in the 1950s with a Super A. He had used loose hay with a hay loader. His daughter and son-in-law had become NH dealers along with David Brown tractors. They took him a NH baler and 880 tractor to try. Good old dad bought the baler and ran it pto with the SA and baled all his hay. Those Super series NH balers operated very easily. Power was not a big requirment. If I were you I would trade one of those 140s for a 35 hp diesel with live pto. Live pto will turn baling into a pleasure. As I said power is not a big issue here, but I doubt if you will find much in live pto under 35 hp. Save your other 140 for raking, pulling hay wagons,you could even mount a sickle mower. You will never match a 140 on the hay rake.

This unit was equipped with an 11 HP Honda engine with fuel shutoff, adjustable flow and optional syphon degreaser dispenser. It didn't have a pressure release or electric start to facilitate easy starting but according to the instructions, simply pulling on the trigger while cranking was sufficient. This method of starting proved more than adequate and kept the cost down on the unit. It had all the important
