For a haybine stick with new holland. Just get a regular haybine and keep it inside. Not too much $ and will operate for years.
For a hay rake, buy a ground driven wheel rake. Almost no maint. other than greasing and replace a tooth once in a while. (has 5-8 5 foot tall wheels)
For a baler, if you are doing rounds, New Holland bar types are pretty decent on maint.- never owned one but several neighbors did and loved them. If a big square is what you want- ask someone who owned one first, not the dealer...
Notice I did not mention tractors yet? A good tractor for just doing hay would be a 4020 deere, 986 IH, 200 AC or something similar. For doing hay, it is better to get one that is easy handling. The 986 of all the ones above is not the best handling but was a pretty good one since it had no turbo and a really good motor. The deere 4020 you must know about and the AC 200 is cheap HP and good on fuel. Stay away from Whites unless it is a 135 series 3 or newer.
If you just want a neat shiney tractor that costs a fortune, spend like mad then and buy what you want.
If you buy a lineup like what I put here you could use the 4620 deere you already have and add one of these for 8-10,000$ Haybine should not be more than 7-8000 for a nice one. Don't skimp and buy junk.
Rake maybe 3,000 at the most.
Baler depends on what type. Round baler maybe 8-11,000$ for a nice one. Big square quite a bit more.
So, for 30,000 or so you can be in business. Good luck and hope this gives you some ideas!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
