I am looking to buy a tractor to cut/bale hay. We currently pay someone else to cut, rake, and bale around 15acres. This year we have done it on shares. We bought a NH 273 square bailer a couple years ago but have yet to use it. We have an old Ford 600 that we use to bush hog/haul in wood. We don't have a mower or rake. I have an opportunity to buy a 1973 JD 4430 that my cousin farmed with for years. My question is: Is this too much tractor for someone who is just going to bale hay? Eventually, I want to get a round bailer. There is also hay available to cut locally if I have equipment to do it with. Thanks for any info.
