I learned to run a square baler at 6yrs old on an IH H. As everyone says live PTO is a must--saves alot of aggravation, and as Jim.UT says you have to have more talent to run one without live PTO, but the only way to get that talent is to actually have the baler plug up a few times before you start to learn how to quickly kick the tractor out of gear and let the baler keep going. One good way to learn how to do that is to have your Dad on the hayrack behind you and actually plug up the baler once--You'll also learn to crawl into the baler and dig the green slug of hay out.
Just buy yourself a big enough tractor to run it, preferably with a live PTO. If the heaviest thing you do with it is bale, don't get close to 100hp, it'll work but it is overkill. I think you would be satisfied with anything from a 300 on up to a 656.
