Forget the large round bales most horse people want 35 to 45 lb square bales that women can handle. there is more money in horse hay but more trouble trying to please Yuppies who think that their horses will only eat certain types of hay at the lowest cost. I bought a nice NH 268 SQ. baler at a garage sale for $250 put a new belt and a wiper off my my NH 78 and baled 3000 bales. Bought my fuel in the winter when it was cheap. Don't hire anyone if possible let the folks pick it up in the field but put 1/4 to 1/2 in the barn for winter sales that is where the money is.

To many Yuppie farmers who do and then sell out in a few years for a lot less with little or no hours on the equipment. Walt PS like others have said do it for fun not profit.
