I pull a JD1380 12 foot hydroswing swather with my SMTA. It is pretty much stock other than the typical 4 1/8 pistons and sleeves. It is all or more than the tractor wants in heavier hay, timothy alfalfa mix. A 10 foot would probably be better but then you are fighting it when you turn windrows or drop bales. I have an older NH 282 twine tie baler, pto drive and the SMTA handles it well. Swather works fine on Second cutting but have at times had to hire someone to cut first. I used a neighbors 9 foot Heston swater for a couple years and the SMTA handled it really well. The JD hydroswing is rated at about 80 hp I think. The SMTA is a great tractor on baler and swather with the TA ability to change speeds quickly, also the live PTO. Guess it depends a lot on the hay you grow.
