[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1158889, member: 14713"] +1. I would add that a disc machine takes more HP than the same size conventional sickle cutter. My 105HP Ford 8600 is just about right on my 16' sickle moco/conditioner. Moco makes the tractor really work at times. Would not want any less tractor on it. Kubota M126GX rated at 105HP and seems just about ideal for the round baler. Wouldn't want any less tractor there either, for power or ground clearance. Put 2 of the 16' swaths together to bale and I'm glad the Kubota is on 38" rubber, 24" in front. The Vermeer R2800 rake is a pretty heavy piece of equipment. Ford 9600 130HP runs it well at a high idle. A somewhat smaller tractor could do the job on mostly level fields. 9600 in 5L @ 1600 RPM is about the right combination of basket speed and ground speed.
