I bale(or baled) hay for several years and know that fiscally its a money pit.

But if you want to do it and dont care about what you spend its good to do it when its right and not "Pester" the guy as to when He can get to your patch.

The 8n ford should take care of the baler--- if it has the over riding clutch NOT on the baler but at the end of the PTO on the tractor....
baling without LIVE PTO IS HAZZARDUS, and just a plain PAIN. because when you hit a large pile of hay in a windrow and go to step on the clutch to slow yourself down YOU WILL PLUG, no ifs ands or maybe's. I myself use a JD baler Dad baught when I was a kid for small bales (an NH 852 for bigs)

again I would say its going to cost you dear to get started.
