My wife has me thinking about buying one of the new subcompact tractors from Rural King. 24 HP hydrostatic with 19 HP at the PTO.
My question is whether I can run some of my older hay implements with this tractor? I know the horsepower requirements for a Ford 501 3-point sickle mower and a NH 268 square baler are fairly low, but will that 19 horsepower be enough to run those two implements on level ground?
Right now I'm using my ford 601, and I plan to continue to do so, but I'd really like it that if I needed to, I could use that tractor in a pinch. What do you guys think?
