Get a full size utility tractor 55hp is the least I would go for smaller hay equipment. If you plan on a batwing you need a 70hp+ tractor. Compact tractors are nice but don't have the weight and size to them. I would also stick with a name brand like Case IH,New Holland, Kubota, Massey Ferguson that will be around after the sale. I dont know how many times I have met people that bought a brand that is not heard of very much and later regreted it cause they cant get anything for it when they sell it and cant get parts.
