Welllllll,,,, I hate to differ with some of my esteemed colleagues, but I've been bailing with a 49 JD B (24/27hp), no problems - pulling a NH 268 hayliner last year, and an Oliver 60 T this year - with wagon and two people on board! Also used a Farmall 200 on the Oliver (?19/21?hp). Worked OK, but the 2pt hitch had a lot of play, which allowed the baler to bob up and down quite a bit. Also ran a little short of traction on really steep hills with the Farmall, and dug up the sod a little. Neither of these tractors have live PTO, but with a little care, you can get along OK. NH baler had an overrunning clutch, which allowed getting PTO going, and then quickly shifting transmission into gear. My late uncle used a JD 50, and a JD 14T baler for years, on both his and our farms. So you can get along with a little less hp, if you're careful!
