Altho I am suppose to be a fergie guy... Allis Chalmers made exactly the stuff you need for 30 odd acres, you don't need over kill no mater how much $ you got. The 'CA's' were built with live pto, and side mowers, to do either job without a big hastle. The balers the CA's could run make the 30-35 pound round bales, if you are feeding your own horses, they won't care. Those balers are hard to find, but very simple, no knotter or power sucking mechanisms. A Pin wheel rake has like 5 moving parts, heck, I used a dump rake from the 1870's for the odd corners of my place, those are now lawn ornaments all over the place. Your horses could pull the rakes and even you mower in a pinch, in the light stuff until you get it tuned like the old days. A Wisconson powered baler, like the guys say, have drawbacks, but, if you find one.... ya know, if time isn't an issue, a self powered baler, dump rake, your old mower.. a pick up... you could pull it off. Just don't buy the 9n, it is too limited, like my father said, it was something to buy when the horse died. Don't buy any tractor that doesn't have live or independent power take off, you will need it sooner or later. Keep getting back here with info and more questions...btw, check the Craigslist farm and garden for all the areas around you, or put in a wanted .... when you know what you want... lots of stuff out there sooner or later... good luck!

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
