The items you are needing are not that expensive if you shop around a bit. 1) haybine- I found a New Holland 488 on craigs list for my neighbor that looks ok, but cuts excellent for $800. If your budget allows more, very nice looking and operating machines can be had for $2,000. 2) rake- good 5 bar side delivery rakes can be had for as little as $500 for an off brand like New Idea or Ford. I bought one in excellent shape for $750 that works great. Even a NewHolland 56 or 256 in good shape can be had for $1,000 if you look around a little. Or if you go v-rake, good used is around $2,000 and new can be had for just over $3,000 on fall close outs on dealer lots. 3) baler- square baler like a John Deere 336 in good condition is around $2500-$3500 and should have a good kicker for that higher price. Round baler, with a little shopping, $2,000 will get you a usable machine, $4000-$5,000 will get you a very dependable baler. 4) Tedder- not a lot of experience in buying these machines, but I do have one, a john deere 4 basket that I bought the middle of June a few years back during a moment of desperation to get hay dry. Local Deere dealer had it as a two year old trade in machine, looked like new yet. Paid $2200 for it and it was money well spent. I'm guessing you may find one a little cheaper if you looked around a little. So, with record high cattle prices, and in my area of Mn, grass hay price at $150-$200 a ton for the past few years, I think investing some money into something you like to do that is paying back very well right now is a good decision. I'd be willing to bet $10,000 spent on updating equipment will pay back very we'll for you.
