I've baled hay on level ground with an Oliver 60. (19 hp, around 4,000 with the tires loaded). I wouldn't do it on steep hills even without a wagon behind. Baled a good many thousands of bales with a S-88 on hills towing wagons. Tire loaded with a set of wheel weights. Our hills are nasty and we had to pick and choose where we tackled the hills with heavily loaded wagons. Ford 5000, S-88/880/1550 Oliver, 3010 JD, Super M/400/450 Farmall sized tractors are a good place to start. All of those tractors with loaded tires and maybe a set of weights are 7,000 to 8,000 lb. tractors. The IH 656, 3020 JD, 830 Case, 1650 Oliver, 185 AC, sized tractors set up as mentioned are all 8,000 to 10,000 lb. tractors. A lot depends on the size of the wagon you are pulling behind the baler. 15 foot racks holding 100-125 bales is one thing. 20 foot racks holding 225 bales is another matter entirely.
If that Super M is in good shape and priced right, you could do worse.
