I pull a loaded NH 1069 bale wagon. 69 square bales, about 2 tons of hay, plus another two tons for the rig. It is a load going downhill.

I regularly pull a loaded fertilizer spreader, probably six tons total.

Your question is difficult because an M will pull 10 tons on a hard surface in low gears, but starting a 10 ton load in fifth would be a problem.

Pulling a flat bed trailer in the field is no problem even with 120 bales of hay, thats about 4 tons, and the trailer is less than one ton.

Read the posts above, they were good answers. Your braking capability going downhill is a lot more important than getting the load started. You know it's overloaded when you slide when trying to stop, assuming you've got good tongue weight.

Pulling an implement is never a problem, but pulling it and taking more power for the PTO is. I pull a Vermeer 605 Super C making 6 ft bales 5 ft wide. As the bales gets full I don't have plenty of power.

When you let out the clutch and try to move, you are overloaded if you have to keep releasing the clutch to let the engine gain speed and reingage to keep moving.

All decal sets come with the warning decal "DO NOT OVERLOAD".
