The trouble with 100 HP tractors is when used for haying and not puched hard at all, they wet stack like crazy. I like using our Oliver 1855 which puts out 105 PTO HP to cut hay, and it's got a little wet stracking going on.
It's getting to be time to chop corn so I'll be able to burn it out now, as well as when plowing, but if it weren't for that it'd constantly be wet stacking and smoking worse than normal. If only haying, I'd need some big equipment, or drop a size in tractor. We can also cut hay with our Massey 285, but if cutting during the day thew canopy on the 18 is nice, as well as the extra 4,000 lbs the 18 has pulling around the 14' hydro-swing. On a corner, it'll push our 10,000 lb 285 around in the right conditions.
Our 285 on the other hand, is a great haying tractor. Plenty of HP for cutting, can gear up and throttle down for raking, and plenty of weight and power for pulling the square baler or pretty much any round baler should we borrow or rent one.
