This is entirely possible on $3000 if you shop around.

You might not get a great tractor in that budget, but it is doable.

You need a tedder...but you CAN hay with out it, just not ideal in these parts.

I looked for 5 mins on local buy and sell on this side of the border:

Mower conditioner: $300

Rake: $500

Baler: $800

Tractor: $800

All of the above for $2400 without haggling. Yes the moco is the crappy IH one with the batter board, but it says it works and no 3pt needed, the rake doesn't look too bad and the baler is mint. The tractor has hyd, remote cyl should be possible, and assume that 44 has PTO (not live) It has a loader to boot for the winter and snow! Yes the gear is old, but you aren't trying to make a living with it and this is "yesterdays tractors"
