Figure it this way, a baler will pull about 10-15 HP. then what ever is left is what you have for pulling it. You can bale with say an 8N but it works the tractor to death, same with an H farmall, or B JD. All of them will do it but work very hard when doing so. The live PTO is nice because if you hit a heavy spot of hay you can stop moveing and let the baler catch up. I've baled useing both a Ford 841, 45HP and an Oliver 77 38HP but the Oliver did a better job because of the live PTO and the higher toqure of the 6 cylinder engine.
