Two year lurker (thanks for all the great info. by the way) My local Kioti dealer has a great price on the DS4110 HSI - $18,909 including FEL, plus the nice little $500 Christmas cash back, so I'm thinking this is a great time to finally buy. My dilemma is about running a baler with this tractor. I have three acres of grass hay and the option to cut and bale an additional 8 acres. My neighbor has a swather and baler that I can use. He is a city boy moved to the country like me. He bought an old tractor but it only runs about half the time, but the swather and baler are very reliable so I would also cut and bale his 4 acres in exchange for the use of his equipment.
Probably too much introduction, but here is the question, is the DS4110 HSI going to be able to run the baler without the baler pounding the tractor to death? Mostly the tractor will be used for landscaping work some snow removal and I'm worried about too much weight for the landscaping work and yet not enough weight (and marginal power) for the haying. I have a couple of cows and buying hay is still cheaper than buying equipment and a tractor, but a tractor that can "do it all" would be sweet.
thanks in advance for the advice
