A 36 hp tractor is real good at putting up 20 or so acres of hay if you use a smal sickle mower or conditioner and small square bales.
If you want to do round bales or use a disc mower or most especially a good bigger sickle conditioner or disc conditioner, you might want more hp. Well you would need more hp.
The next step up would be 60hp, for round bales or a better mower.
80-120hp might be needed for the real good, modern stuff.

Then, what baler are you looking to use? 36 hp will be nice for a 30+ year old baler that would get the job done easily.
