I guess I been using to big of a tractor for a long time. I started using my 1466 sometime ago as it has a cab and it goes slow enough to swallow the larger straw windrows created by a CIH 2388. I have ran it on my NH small square baler with no problem in alfalfa hay also. Make sure your slip clutch is adjusted right and the baler is shear pinned protected. Now if your tractor is under powered is a problem as your PTO clutch or your transmission is not protected from any fail safes and you can tear things up. We had a neighbor tear up the PTO on a 4640 hooked to a large NH square baler. It would rock that tractor pretty good. He now uses a 8000 series JD of about 210 HP. I would say under powered can be dangerous and cause more damage than over. Just my 2 cents. Good luck in finding your tractor!
