I am shopping tractors with the hope of being able to put up about 500 4x4 rolls of hay per year. I wondered if any of you out there are doing this and with what size tractor, with how much strain on the tractor, and with how much ease? I was origanally looking at compact tractors, but it seems like Kioti is kind of inbetween compact and utility.

how many hp? my neighbor has a jd 4700 (around 48hp) and he didn`t think his would run his baler allthough he hasn`t tried. I think my new holland takes around 60 hp. + depending on your terrane .If its hilly you prolly can`t pull the baler loaded with bale with a smaller tractor.

The lowest hp req I could find for a square baler was 30 hp. The rounds all needed ~45 and up.

I'll correct that, I found a post somewhere with a 4 ft round baler that will run on 30 hp. Can't recall the name at the moment. H something.
