I don't know of anything that will work with only 15 hp. You can try Carver's website. They have some small hay equipment for lower hp units but I still don't think 15 hp would do it.

Maybe a motor run baler but probably still WAYYYYYY too little weight in the tractor to safely stop moving and baler may throw that tractor around quite a bit too. May be able to run a small sicklebar mower though. Just a thought. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

What would be a good size sickle bar/brand for a John Deere 4300 ? How much would it cost ?

I was curious myself so I went to carver's site. They do have a baler for 15-30hp tractors.
