30-35 hp is fine. Heavy enough to handle the weight & rocking
action of the plunger (not a modern
compact-utility tractor - an old cast iron
machine is better!). You want live pto - 2-stage clutch or
independent. A good selection of slow gears is nice - a 5
speed is better than a 4 speed, an 8 or 10
speed is even better. Color doesn't matter, just look for features. My
IHC 300 row crop is great - 5 speed with TA
(gives it 10 speeds), independent pto, heavy
enough to handle the baler & wagon, about 36
hp. A baler takes about 15 hp, moving the tractor &
baler takes about 15 hp, and adding a wagon
takes another 5hp. About. You are talking a smaller hay field. Not a 100
acres or more. right? --->Paul
