We bale with a Massey 285 and a #12 baler, and me on the rack stacking 6 high. The 285 is very good on fuel, more than enough power and weight to handle the baler and a full load, and easy to climb on and off of.
We ran the baler with our 1755 once, and the engine just runs so fast on those bigger 55 series for something as small as a square baler. We now have an 1855 and I wouldn't use it for baling unless I had to. Again, it'd never come close to working the engine and this one wet stacks easy enough cutting hay with a 14' haybine behind it. I like it for that because of the size, the canopy, and the little extra power though the Massey 285 can handle it just fine.
Our 1600 works good on the baler too, and was used on it probably 12-15 years ago before I rebuilt it, when the PTO was out on the 285. Smoked the whole time like you wouldn't beleive, burnt lots of gas (and oil) compared to the diesel 285, but it got the job done easy enough. We had the 1755 but Dad just didn't like it on the baler the one time we did it. Of course I wasn't driving, so maybe I would have thought different.

Potatoes were grown for sale and oats were grown to be used for cattle and horse feeding. Up to about 1958 the dairy cows were fed hay with some turnips and after that grass silage was the main winter feed. That same year was the last in which flax was grown on the farm. Flax provided the fibre which w
