Baler recommendations for 190 gas

 I'm looking for suggestions for a USED baler that makes big round bales that I can use behind my 190 gas tractor (76 hp @ PTO). I'll be putting up close to 100 bales this year. I'm looking for something on the lower end of the price range. Maybe a Massey 1560 or Vermeer 605f?? Maybe not??  I have seen mixed (mostly bad) reviews about the Deere 510.
Any suggestions??  Do you know of a good one for sale??

I put my 660 new Holland behind my one ninety gas for a short time, and it was definitely too much baler for the tractor. I would imagine that any 5 X 6 baler would pull equally as hard, so I would say that you will have to go to like a 4 X 5 or smaller baler. Guess if you weren't in a hurry, didn't have the bale density too tight, and had all flat ground, then you could probably do it. Darrel

Dad pulled a 1500 Gehl for years with his 190XT gasser with no problems. He custom baled thousands of bales with it. A 1500 I think is similar in size to a 605F.

About 13 horsepower I think.

tractor house has 2 1500a  for sale  at ag land implement  new hampton ia. $900 ea. also a 1500 for sale in arkansas for $2500.

I have an xt diesel and purchased a Hesston 560 on Big Iron a little over a year ago for 900. (yeah I know not that many can be had that cheap) but the nicest thing is the bale kicker (no backing up required when dumping a bale). There are quite a few 560/565 or case 8460/8465 balers that sell on Big Iron for a cheap price. As a matter of fact there is one going off tomorrow that looks nice but sits in Nebraska.

We have ran a New Idea 484 4x5 round baler behind our 190 XT3 diesel. It mostly played with it but a gas may have been a different story. our 484 has been a good baler.

We ran a 605C behind a 706 IH diesel as well and later a 605H baler. Ran both balers just fine.

Probably is 13 HP on paper, but in actuality, the difference between a non-XT gas, and an XT diesel is quite a bit more. Darrel

Thanks for all of the information and recommendations!  The search begins

You should be fine. My neighbor runs a 180 diesel on a 4x5 NH 648. Runs it pretty well too. The only reason though is because his 6080 blew an engine and is in the shop.
