First, your horses are work horses and you have the mower, Then look for a rake-tedder built by New Idea and a No 4 or 44 and it will have been built for the horses. If you were in an Amish area then expect to pay up to a thousand dollars for a good one, non Amish area half of that. That will take care of all your tedding needs as well as the raking. I could get you any parts you would need to keep that rake going along with depending on the make and model of that horse drawn mower. Then do as the Amish do find a engine powered small square baler, They do take off the pto and install new engines or as some of them do have a forecart with an engine on. They fit the balers with brakes for use on hills. And they do pull fully loaded wagons behind the baler hooked to the forecart. If your land is flat you have enough horsepower for that but if hilly then you would need a 4th horse. And for grading a driveway they put a hand type lift 3 point on the forcart that takes a standard cat 1 hitch 6-7' blade. Or if you did not want to bale but put up loose hay find a hay loader and hook it up back of a wagon with a team in front and have a go at it. I have friends That are Amish and they do everything the way I am saying to make their living. And the parts that you cannot go to a farm store and buy and that is all except the cutting sections for that mower they have or can make. What make mower do you have and model and bar length? If it is a 7' bar then you could get yourself a older hay conditioner and pull it with an engine mounted on a forecart and you need that conditioner to make good hay. Without it plan on mowing one day, next day ted, also the next day ted again, possibly same thing the third day, then rake and harvest the following day. I made hay for years and never had a live PTO tractor and never missed it. And if you want to go to tractor power a Farmall H will handle a 7' haybine or a pto baler with no problems pulling a wagon behind. If land is too steep for that outfit then you should only be grazing it. A pull type hay conditioner will only work behind a 7' mower tho.
