An 8n will deffinately move a round bale.... on a bale dolley! A bale dolley is a tag-along trailer.. it has a bale spear or a couple arm supports to hold the bale.. There are farm only setups.. and I have seen ones for behind your pickup truck to go get a round bale. As for doing it on the 3pt.. bad idea. There have been rumors of tweaking te relief so that you can get mor ethan the oem 800# on the lift.. but even if you do get one in the air.. the first bump you hit will probably blow the seals out in the hyd top cover, pump, and piston... Loader might lift it with a spear.. but then again.. a new problem,.. the N front axle pivots on a king pin.. and loaders are brutal on the front axle.... especially loaders with a heavy weight.. add to that no power steering.. get the picture. The N will otherwise make a great farm chore device.. and if he can get buy with a bale dolley.. go for it.. Otherwise look for an older used ag tractor.. they are huge ( 50-100 hp ).. and go for just ove rthe prices of N's in my area.. Soundguy
