Maine (from your posting name) could be cool and damp for drying hay. Your kicker wagons will let you bale as fast as your baler can spit the bales out. If you have an off-farm job time your time available to bale thirty acres of hay while the weather is good could be very limited. If so, I would steer clear of any pre-1960 tractors and look for a 1960's or newer 70 to 100 HP tractor with hydraulic brakes and an eight plus speed transmission. A larger tractor will let you bale faster, pull larger bale wagons safely on hills and safely transport the baler and a full wagon down the road in one trip. Those tractors may a have hydraulic shift-on-the-go that does not freewheel down hills like the older mechanical shift-on-the-go will do in low.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
