The baler weighs 25000 lbs, makes a 4 ft by 3 ft square bale and requires 250 hp to operate. The 7810 hooked to it is on the dealer lot and was the only tractor they had that would pull it off the trailer used to transport the baler from the farm.

Much more than that.
My Big Pack 4x4 weighs 34,000lbs.
You’d want an 8000 series Deere just to keep that thing under control. Not so much a HP thing as a weight thing. You want a 25,000lb tractor to feel like the Krone baler isnt throwing you around.
Im running 300HP in front of mine in my MX-270 and its fine, but I wouldn’t want to run under 250PTO unless flat ground. Its also a really heavy tractor.
Heck my Hesston 4910 is close to 24,000 with 2 biscuits in the chute.

Good post for the TBN JD AG tractor forum ?? Maybe the admins will relocate this thread.
Takes a lot of big equipment to lay out the hay crop to feed this beast. Big stuff for Big farms.
