I never owned an M but I was waiting for someone else to say it. I doubt the M could handle a big bale. You never stated what size bale it was? 5', 5.5', or 6'? And how heavy does the guy who baled them say they are?
I don't think you have enough weight in the rear end to pick one up and move it around even if you had enough hydraulic lift to pick up a bale. Probably not even if you tied on to your plow on back.
