Apply the money for the engine to trading tractors. 50 HP to 75 HP with live PTO will have the power and weight to comfortably handle an older square baler with a full wagon in all conditions: hills; road; heavy windrows; etc. An undersized tractor will still be short on weight to safely handle a heavy baler and a wagon.
$400 for the engine will just be the part of your costs to install an engine on a baler, especially if it is a bare engine instead of a complete power unit. If it is a bare engine you will need to add: a clutch; a way to control the clutch from the tractor; speed reduction (4 to 1?); engine mounts; starter battery, switch and cables; control panel with temperature and oil pressure gauges or lights; a cooling system for a water cooled engine or cowling for an air cooled engine; maybe reinforce the baler tongue, etc. Figure a minimum of another $1,000 and 50 plus hours of your time to get the engine installed and the bugs worked out.
Some Amish use PTO carts to power horse drawn PTO equipment, what would one of those carts sell for?

It was a cold Thanksgiving evening, and we were going up to her Grandparents house. As we passed one of their barns, I noticed something orange in the corner of my eye in this old shed.
