I faced the same situation a few years back when I was upgrading to a disc mower. My New Holland dealer told me to forget a disc bine as something in the 85 hp. or so range would be needed and my largest tractor was only 65 hp. I have heard from various sources that the New Idea 5409 disc bine can be handled with something less so you might want to check into that model. My 8 foot NH 616 disc mower is enough for my 65 PTO hp. tractor especially in anything fairly heavy or tough to cut. For an IH tractor I think something in the 806 family (856, 866, 886, etc.) or larger would be sufficient for a disc bine. The disc bine certainly is the driver for the larger tractor. My Farmall 656 would probably handle all the other duties including a disc mower or hay bine very easily. Most hay equipment in this area is New Holland because of our supporting sales & service dealership is so supportive during our hay season. Hope this helps, Hal.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
