An AC XT190 would be a miserable tractor on a round baler. They do not have independent PTO. you have to use the Hi/Lo/hand clutch to stop the tractor motion. Plus unless everything is just right shifting them into reverse with the PTO running is a nightmare.
Just watch out for the TA on that IH 986. Set in the cab and look out the back at the draw bar. Shift it a few times as well. They are not the nicest shifting tractor either. You have to be at a complete dead stop or you will be grinding gears to get to reverse.
I was all red until the IH 86 series came out. I owned a new IH 1086 for six months. It was the roughest riding tractor I ever owned. Plus after the 4th or 5th time hanging up side down with my pants caught on the darn gear shift I traded it in on a new JD 4440. I still have that tractor and love it.
I don't know your budget but I would not really like either of these to bale with. If you are needing a cheaper tractor I would look for a White 2-105. They have a descent cab and the three speed shift is nice on a baler. The Perkins engine will last life time. They drive and ride well. The only down side to them is the Agco parts are terrible in price. Guys that think JD is bad need to go buy some from Agco.
