[QUOTE="Atimm693, post: 1780867, member: 26138"] We borrowed a Haybuster for a short while one year, just to finish the season. Our experience, you need a lot of power, and it will plug every orifice in your tractor with chaff. 100hp wasn't enough, 125 minimum IMO. They have a governor that stops the tub from rotating whenever a slug of hay goes through, so in theory you can run it with a smaller tractor but it doesn't work that well. From what I've heard a good one will do 20 bales/hr, ours wasn't anywhere close to that but the hammer mill wasn't in the best shape. As with any high RPM machine, you will have a lot of maintenance.
