Ok, here's an equipment question for those of you wiser than I. I have about a 65 hp tractor (53 hp on pto) and a new idea 4854 round baler. Something I have been thinking about lately is the fact that I have only that tractor to cut, rake, and bale with. I have been toying with several ideas for my hay making. I am making and selling a lot more hay than I ever use to. I'm debating on getting a different round baler that makes tighter rolls and requires less hp (like some of the Vermeer models) or getting a higher horse power tractor to ease the use of mine now. I'm not sure that doing both would be financially feasable but I haven't really penciled it out yet either. Any thoughts from those of you that make a lot of hay each year?
