In all seriousness- Much of that depends on the size of the bale you make, and to lesser extents the degree of hills you have and perhaps the acres you farm.
I use a 300HP tractor with a mild tune and it doesn’t want any more than my Krone 4x4 baler gives it on hills.

I think the comment was working under a power line. But, I think that may also be a bale thrower... I'm not sure I'd want to be the bale catcher. 
The big lines are high enough up that one can't really mess with them.
