The 4020 will never be paid for using it on 15 acres of hay, as stated below one in decent condition will run over $7000, and one in poor condition will cost a lot more in parts in the long run. I'm biased but I think the 300-350 IH Farmall ($1500-$2500) is the route to go. The haying equipment could easily run more then the tractor. Decent sickle mowers run $300+, a good baler runs $500-$1000 and rakes run $300+, if you're thinking about buying at a dealership you could easily double (or more) all the prices I listed. The one thing that could cut down on the investment is swapping labor and sharing equipment with a neighbor who has a similar sized set up.
