Funny, I was baling yesterday and asked myself that exact question. I'm running a Hesston 5800 rounder (5x6) that California (or some western state ag dept) did some testing on. This baler put out 1750 to 1950# bales in their tests depending on moisture content and hay type. I have a 4010 JD rated about 80hp. I live in N. Tx with gently rolling hills. I bale in 4th of 8 fwd speeds @ 2000 engine rpm (540 PTO). When the baler gets about 90% full, you can feel the PTO start loading and by the time it is full, the engine is telling you that it is working. From a weight standpoint, I wouldn't go smaller and the PTO tells me that I don't want less hp so looks like I answered my question. Besides, the larger frame tractor puts you higher off the ground and visability is much better especially when you are cutting.....7' sudan. Mark
