You nailed it. Balers are a lot heavier than you would think. Add a load of bales behind on a wagon and it can really push a tractor around. So the heavier the tractor the better off you are. We have hills around here that I would never consider a tractor, baler and wagon combo with a tractor smaller than about 7,000 pounds with good brakes. A Ford 3600 maxes out at about 6,900 pounds fully weighted up. Baled a lot of hay on a lot of hills with a tractor, 24T and wagon behind a tractor that scaled in at 7K before weight was added. This one had fluid in the tires and rear wheel weights so it was considerably heavier than that. Would load anywhere from 120 -175 bales on a wagon depending on the size of the wagon. Never had a problem.
