I think you hit it right on the head. I am not trying to bale the most efficiently or fastest. I need to reliably bale a few fields to meet my needs first and maybe sell a bit of the excess to some horse friends. The fields are high quality horse hay that will be maintained. I will focus very closely on the implements and set the tractor issue aside for a while. Thank you very much for your shared wisdom. I really like the way my 2000 sips fuel and plan to use it for most of the prep. Heck, my wife even said she would like to rake the hay. She really likes driving the 2000.
Part of the problem is that I really like the old iron, but can't quite justifying buying it and not using it. I own a diesel pickup and I know how expensive repairs can get. I think a reasonably good gas tractor, used just for the baling will work well. Finding that older tractor that is not worn out will be the challenge. My 2000 has 5000 hours on it but was rebuild by the dealer prior to me buying it. It really runs nice!
