I have a 10 acre place which I have cut and baled every year. When all is said and done it costs me about $900. (I sell most of the hay so I come
out ahead). I currently own a '52 8N and have a 501 sickle bar mower. I've been beating around the idea of looking for a baler and rake to do the
job myself. The problem is I know nothing (but very willing to learn) about balers. I've always heard they are tempremental and hard to keep
working properly. Is this something I should be considering or not??? If yes, any suggestions on baler and rake types would be appreciated.
Should I only be considering balers with gas engines or can my 8N handle powering with the PTO? Any advice would be appreciated.
