[QUOTE="bird dog, post: 1767760, member: 5381"] Try to leave the hay production to others if possible. The equipment is expensive and only used a few times per year. Buy a tractor that is big enough to handle the hay rolls that are produced in your area. You want to be safe and a 40 HP tractor won't easily handle the 4 x 5 1/2 rolls that most folks make these days. At least not with a front end loader. I prefer a 65 to 70 HP minimum. As far as tractor brands go, its usually advised to stay with the big three. Deere, Case/ NH, Kubota. A tractor from one of these brands is usually very dependable with parts available and will hold its value if taken care of. A tractor from one of these three matters a lot at trade in time if you want something bigger down the road. [/QUOTE]
