> I have seen guys get drug back down a hill when they stop to make a bale.
I have a crown vetch field that's a few degrees steeper than anyone in their right mind would bale hay on. 85HP is good enough for me. I use the smaller tractor, because it has MFWD and traction is the key when going up (and down) a steep hill. The 85HP tractor will not pull a full baler up the hill though, you have to use some sense and "chicken out" and then finish filling the baler on the down stroke. Can't drop the bale unless your at the top or the bottom of the hill anyway :)
For what it's worth, I use a JD 2950 (85HP PTO) and a NH 855 (5.5ft x 5.5ft) baler.
On relatively flat fields, 85-90HP on the PTO should run just about any round baler without too much fuss.
