I doubt that my post will add much to the ones already posted, but there are two power requirements for a baler- one is to tow the baler, the other is to operate the baler mechanism. In the 50's, we used a New Holland with a 2 cylinder Wisconsin mounted on the baler. The engine was perhaps 15 hp. Pulled the baler with Super A or Ferguson TO-20. Some of the bigger wire balers used 4 cylinder Wisconsin of about 25 hp. I have no experience with the round balers. Some of the wire balers would make bales of soybean hay that weighed about 125 pounds- that is rough handling even with gloves.
