Tractor Tools Direct was founded by Pat Goodwin who, like you, managed a farm of smaller livestock—in his case, sheep. In his years doing so, he noticed a dearth of equipment sized specifically for his small farm’s production needs. Pat had always preferred compact tractors for their improved maneuverability, fuel sipping characteristics, and of course, lower cost. Unfortunately, he had a lot of trouble finding good equipment for making hay with his small tractors. It seemed like most manufacturers and equipment dealers focused on big farm tractors and the equipment that fits them. Then one day while researching, he found out about compact hay balers. In Italy, farms are smaller and hillier and require the use of smaller equipment. These “mini” balers could be operated with tractors as small as 16 horsepower, were exceptionally well engineered and built, and were affordable to boot. He liked them so much, he didn’t just buy one, he decided to start a business selling them to others.

Sometimes bigger just isn’t better. Let a Tractor Tools Direct compact hay-baling package bring huge improvements to your alpaca operation. Check out more of our website and give us a call today!
