I'm looking to purchase a tractor, cutter, rake, and baler. My neighbor has been cutting the hay off of our 60 acres of pasture, I'm interested in cutting it myself and also doing some "custom baling" for others in the area in SW Arkansas. I'm not looking to make money... maybe cover some of the expenses.
Our "farm" is owned by me and my 3 brothers and we have to keep it cleaned up anyway. The neighbor cuts the hay, but doesn't bush hog another 10 or so acres that doesn't produce decent hay. So, I'm having to keep all that cut and trimmed up, out of "our pockets."
Anyway, since I'm losing money as it is, I may as well try to help cover costs.
Questions, 1. What's the lowest (reasonable) HP tractor that would be practical to cut, pull a 4X5 baler, and be fuel efficient. 2. What brand and model tractors do you think are durable (no, I'm not trying to stir anything up). 3. What's a decent baler and disc cutter.
Looking for slightly used or new. I don't care about bells and whistles, just durable machinery.

This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
