How big of a tractor as far as engine hp and pto hp does it take to operate a roll baler? Like something making 5'x5' bales? We have a International 444 with a around 42 engine hp and 38 pto hp. It has weighted wheels and is a heavy old tractor that has no trouble making square bales with a massy 12 square baler. I would like to up grade soon to making roll bales do to the the number of square bales that we have to make and the limited availability of help. Roll bales would save me so much time and would make doing hay a one man job. Just wondering if our tractor is up to the job.
Thanks.
