Thanks for all the replies. I should have added more information. I am not really considering the Case 2090. It is to big but I was surprised it was in the same price range of the others. I have a NH Haybine #479 and a MF 120 Baler I picked up at a good price. Both were used this year and work well. The owners manual for both say 35 HP minumum. I see a lot of J.D. 2030 to 2130's and MF 165 and 255's used with this haybine. I am leaning toward either the Ford 5000 or the J.D. 2130. The 5000 is a bigger machine and the J.D. is about $4000 more.
Dealer support for all makes is readily available in this area. The Ford seems to be more versatile for other implements, ie, backhoe or snow thrower, due to it's size. I am going to go look at the J.D.s (3 currently available) and the Ford again today.
