[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 637538, member: 9198"] DiamondS is right on the money with his description of the two baler types. Personally, I perfer the belt baler over the chain baler. I've had both, well, still have both - haven't sold the chain baler yet. I never could get my old NH chain baler to make a tight bale. But it was pretty depenable at my level at less than 500 bales/year. As far a HP requirements you can get a baler that can be pulled with a 45-50HP tractor. It will probably be a Vermeer Rebel in a 4X4 size. I really don't know about the Hestons, M&W, or any of the small balers from JD or even NH. I've never baled with a small round baler. I do have a square baler that I pull with a Ford 3000 diesel. I believe the HP rating of the tractor is in the 40-45hp range. It handles the square baler just fine. I also used to pull a PZ drum mower with the Ford and it handled it OK. [/QUOTE]
