A D-17 might be okay for small squares, don't know that you'd be happy with them on large bales. The two tractor idea is sound and having them the same makes parts availability easier as if you're having a bad day you do have an in house can-bird. I think I'd go with a Ford 3000/4000 or a MF XX or 1XX tractor or maybe a 1960's something Farmall (706/806) rather than an Allis. A John Deere would serve you well but you'll pay more money for less tractor in a new generation Deere. On the bright side a new generation Deere would be easier to sell off if/when you decide to part with it. As every one else is asking how involved do you want to be with this project, how much time and money do you have to invest? If you've been feeding your stock on a 1/3 of your crop what are you going to do with the additional hay you'll get by doing your own and how involved do you want to be in getting rid of it? Your target market on your surplus hay might steer you to bale size. How much time?- if this excise for a farmer is all you can find can you recoup some of your investment doing hay for others? Do you have kids at home that can and are willing to work hay? That was common when I was a kid that high school kids worked hay for pocket money, heck I even helped one of our neighbors well into my college years but times change.
