This is ridiculous.....The original poster asked about specific tractor...55 and 60 hp. Theyare only 2WD and have 8 forward/2 reverse gears. Sorry, that's the specs. I tried to answer the question that was asked. I've pulled a JD 336 with a '57 Farmall 230 (trans run
PTO as well) with 4 forward/one reverse and got the job done. Thing is I don't have $1Million dollars to put into equipment, so I use what I have...The poster is apparently looking for a "small" haying job tractor. I do have a Mahindra 6000 4WD that has the 8speed shuttle...The 6025 WILL pull any square baler he wants to hook up to it easily as the gearing is wonderfully spaced in the low range for just such stuff. Oh yeah, that's personal experience. Also, personally, since its 98 degrees out today...why don't we optimally tell the poster he MUST has a cab with A/C. BobG in VA
