Diana: Your situation sounds so very familiar. Our operation sounds about like yours. I put up hay for a dozen horses. You are right to want your own equipment. We found out many years ago that you are going to be victimized by anyone you can get to do your work on a custom basis, They will do yours LAST. Buy a 50-75 hp tractor first. If you want Farmall, get a 656 or 706. Buy a rake and a mower you can afford, plus a bale spear to move your hay. Thirty acres of hay will make a lot of hay. Probably much more than you will need. If you have a surplus...then you have a crop you can sell to get the money to buy more of your own equipment. We use a JD337 small square so
we do not need the 97 hp of am 806 (I have that much but not to bale hay with) I find that hay quality of large round bales here in IA is not good enough for our horses. It may be different for you. I suggest hunting for an affordable 4x5
round baler your second year. You will have a better Idea at that time of what you really need.
