As others here have said, your 8N should do fine for the rake and sickle-bar mower. If you are careful, you could probably handle a smaller NH PTO baler as well. Both the 66 and 268 have an overrunning clutch built into the baler, so that you could start the baler up in neutral, then clutch and shift into first and start off while the baler flywheel is still spinning. I've seen plenty of balers in Amish country with a 16 HP Briggs Vanguard Twin as the engine (I haven't heard very good things about the Wisconsin that was the original engine), but the engine adds alot of cost to the baler.
