Wow, you actually got the M to run a round baler... Most M's anymore are in the neighborhood of 40-50 hp (being when they were overhauled they were eithor bored or had high altitude pistons installed) on the PTO. All but the smallest of round balers require 60+ hp. As for a small square baler, the M will run right along with just about 95% of em wagon or not. As long as you're not trying to bale up 14' wide windrows it'll do just great with a skilled operator. It's kinda tough and requires a quick left foot and hand to master the two step method. Which is kicking the tractor into neutral yet while keeping the PTO speed up to keep the baler from plugging up in heavy hay/windrows. If you're not so good at this step and you'll find out real quick and often how well adjusted your slip clutch is and just how many spare shear pins you have left in the baler tool box. We used a M with a NH 68 for years doing 3000-5000 bales a year when I was a kid stacking the hay on the wagon pulling behind the baler. We could do an average of 100-125 bales an hour with that setup. Sometimes we'd get close to 200 an hour depending on how things were going.
