The Basics: Making Hay with Compact Tractors 

We keep the covers off until we sell them to protect them from the elements on our Discmowers.

The Massey Ferguson 1533 was 33 Engine HP and 26 PTO HP for SynchroShuttle or 24.5 PTO HP for Hydrostat Version. It's a little light on the PTO HP for Discmower and Baler but one thing on the Baler is to reduce the Diameter and you could make smaller bales which reduces Horsepower needs. But I'd recommend getting a little more Horsepower like 40 Engine Range or above to get into making hay, that should get you the PTO Horsepower you need for the Discmower and Baler.

Too many passes. Raking takes care of the drying, never heard of "tedding" before. The more you rake or roll your hay, especially when you're dealing with alfalfa, you drastically reduce the quality of the hay. Especially when you're talking about protein content.

It's in the plans but you will need 45 PTO HP or Approximately 60 Engine HP to use a Small Inline Square Baler.

Bale Wrapping if for High Moisture Hay and those machines take a lot more horsepower than a Compact Tractor can provide. Most Farmers bale Dry Hay to save adding costs of wrapping and adding an additional process that adds more expense to the hay crop here in our area we serve.

1734 evolved from the Hesston 530 Round Baler.

DM164 is the 5' 5" Discmower in this video.

Depends on what the Small Square Baler PTO Horsepower Requirements and which accumulator. I would recommend contacting the manufactures for their requirements. That might be a little too much for 1754. Some Square Balers might work. I know it's no enough PTO HP for the 1800 Series from Massey Ferguson they require 50 PTO HP.

If in West Central Missouri give us a call at 660-584-2250. We respect all dealers trade areas and you need to buy from your local Massey Ferguson Dealer if in West Central Missouri we would be happy to quote pricing.

You have to set the Windrow Width to Match the Baler Pickup Width and we sell many wheel rakes especially the 6 Wheel that can match the 38" baler pickup width. We sell RhinoAG Wheel Rakes with minimum of 36" Windrow width. Now some brands won't get this narrow. You have to match the Wheel Rake to the Baler.

You can use a Broadcast Spreader/Seeder they only need 8 to 10 PTO HP. Most hay is already seeded in this part of the country but it can be done with a compact tractor too.

It would be nice to show in action but that was not available. We are informing implements that match smaller HP tractors to help owners make hay.
