Apply the money for the engine to trading tractors. 50 HP to 75 HP with live PTO will have the power and weight to comfortably handle an older square baler with a full wagon in all conditions: hills; road; heavy windrows; etc. An undersized tractor will still be short on weight to safely handle a heavy baler and a wagon.
$400 for the engine will just be the part of your costs to install an engine on a baler, especially if it is a bare engine instead of a complete power unit. If it is a bare engine you will need to add: a clutch; a way to control the clutch from the tractor; speed reduction (4 to 1?); engine mounts; starter battery, switch and cables; control panel with temperature and oil pressure gauges or lights; a cooling system for a water cooled engine or cowling for an air cooled engine; maybe reinforce the baler tongue, etc. Figure a minimum of another $1,000 and 50 plus hours of your time to get the engine installed and the bugs worked out.
Some Amish use PTO carts to power horse drawn PTO equipment, what would one of those carts sell for?

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
