Hi everyone - My fiance and I just bought our dream 30 acres here in Maine. Timothy and clover as far as the eye can see. We are on a tight budget as we have a wedding to pay for this summer, but we need to make some hay to feed our critters. We have a horse drawn #7 mower that is operational, 3 fat horses and about $3000 in cash to make this happen.
I would love to hear from all you experts what we should buy. We can only afford one old, ugly tractor. We're thinking about a Ford 8N which we can find locally for about $1500 in running order. We just can't figure out how to bale the stuff (round or square) with the amount of horsepower the 8N is going to have. We need some creative solutions. We're trying not to get into a tractor payment, although the dealers would just love to sell us $30,000 worth of equipment.
The baling seems to be the hardest part to get done cheaply. Anyone have any advice for us?

Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
