You absolutely can run a round baler with a plain M! I've done it successfully with a '50 M that had typical wear for its age. It did it, but I must say that it was all it wanted when the bale got to be full size. If your M has a fresher engine it will do just fine.
I wasn't using the biggest round baler, but the bales I made were in the 800-1000lb range. You can experiment with the size and tie the bales off at less than full size if you need to.
You can use the liftall hydraulics but you'll need to do a little plumbing to work with the two way cylinders on the baler. Do a search for posts on setting up for two-way cylinders and you'll find good info better than I can describe here.
You'll have to use a little strategy when baling; give yourself about a tractor space before you enter the winrow to get everything rolling and the engine stable at speed. When the bale is about done you can let the baler drift out of the windrow as you are tieing the bale off so that you can be out of the hay when you make the final wraps of twine, 'cause as soon as you hit the clutch everything stops!

He wanted to get the rest of his corn in by the next day (Christmas Eve). We had about an inch of new snow on the ground and single digit temperatures. So in the bac
