Sean: 350 whether it be Wheatland Utility, Utility or Farmall should run just about any baler ever built. The big item there making baling easy will be, do you have Live PTO? That horse power class of tractor has probably baled as much hay across North America than any other. Yes I know lots of guys used 400, 450, 560 and 656, but they were buying the bigger tractor because they had heavy tillage work as well. Until big bales round and square came along haying always had more to do with man power than horse power. That never changed all the way from the pitch fork to the loose hayloader to the small square baler. I had a neighbor in the 1950s 60 cow holstein herd plus replacments. He baled all his hay with a Super C, 200, 230 or 240 and standard pto. I list all those tractors as I think he wore out one of each. Man were they hard on those little Farmalls. The grandfather in his 70s did all the baling. The old guy would get on put everything in gear and go until the tractor stalled. He would then dig the baler out by hand and do the same all over again. This was in Nova Scotia so with that many holsteins and length of feeding season there they had to be doing 25,000 bales per year.

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
