Lifting bales

What I'm wondering is, would it safely lift a large, round bale of hay with a bucket spike? I do have cacl in the rear wheels.

I figure that the steering wouldn't be a lot of fun, but I wouldn't be moving a bunch of bales, just once in a while.

I just don't want to hurt the old girl, or myself.

Many thanks to those of you that offered constructive replies.

Thoughts Ideas?

Even if your loader will lift the bales it will be very hard on your front axle, axle support, spindles, and steering.

More importantly, it is dangerous unless you have only flat ground or only drive backward.

A neighbor of mine was seriously injured moving stumps with the front end loader on his AC WD-45 with loaded rears and rear weights. With a heavy load in the bucket he started down an incline. The rear wheels were not loaded enough to hold the tractor and down the hill he went. At the bottom of the hill was a gully. The tractor went into the gully, rolled over on top of him and crushed his pelvis, etc. Most people do not think of this potential hazzard.

As I recall the Davis 99 or 100 loaders are rated to 750#? That's just about max even on the rear lift of the N. Too much for the front.

That's it thats the question I ask so whos next who ya gonna shoot down next

You said "Well HOBO I'm off the forum and will be for a long while because of you. YES you ragged on me and yes if its in back ward it can hang becuse the throw out bear can hang on the cluthc BTDT and learned the hard way and cost me over $100 bucks back in the 70s when $100 was big money. See your not man enough to answer back to me but put it out on the board. I never said who ragged on me but to one person and that was done by e-mail so it was between 3 people but not the whole board"

You said "Now if you had disagreed with me on the forum and not on my front door I would have taken it better but you didn't. I don't ever try to miss lead just offer other opions of what may have been done wrong. And I know niehter one of us was there to see what was done so all we can ever do is make an educted guess, we can not be sure which one if any of us is right or wrong. But the place to agree to disagree is in the forum not behind the back of all the other people. It doesn't help them any if they never see/heer that you may disargee and the reason for it.
