6640 will probably "do it" but it's rather small for the baler. She'd be blowin' smoke and snortin when that bale gets up to size. I'm not sure of the power required to run a hydro powered swather, but a mechanical drive would be fine on that tractor. I've run a Case IH 8350 12 foot on a TS90 (70 hp) with ease. It's been run on 42 hp, albeit rather slowly. Bale handling would be fine on a 6640, properly ballasted in the rear. Still, you might be better off looking for a little larger tractor for the baler, if you always bring them up to size. Good luck. Rod
