With all due respect and not meaning to hurt anyones feelings, what you have there is an overgrown lawn mower. It might run a 7 foot haybine, maybe, and will almost certainly be okay for a rake. A small square baler it might run, I don't think a round baler is a realistic option though.

You could always go with a sicklebar mower, but most folks don't want to go that slow and labor intensive these days. It's also going to depend on how much hay you want to actually do. 8 or 10 acre is one thing, 75 or 100 or more is a whole 'nuther ball game.
