You Bet!
We had an old green F-10 on a '45 M. I believe they bought that in the late 40s, and it stacked and fed a lot of hay through the years. During the winter of '96-'97, the M chipped a bull gear; luckily my dad and grandfather had a newer F-10 (orange) sitting around from the pre-hay bale days that we put on a '67 3020 Deere. What is neat about that setup is the 3020 shifter and throttle can be run with the right hand and the loader controls with the left, sort of a pre-cursor to what people spend lots of money on nowadays- loader controls on the right and a left-hand reverser on the left. We still use that one every day in the winter for feeding hay to our cattle. It is supposed to lift 21' high, and with the 12' hay stacking bucket with hydraulic push-off, it will unload hay even higher (almost scary). They are supposed to be rated for 3000#, though I've never tested it for fear of snapping a spindle on the tractor. I always have imagined that stacking hay with that setup on a narrow-front tractor on uneven ground would be a little too much excitement. :) In my opinion, their only three faults are: 1)lack of a good cab or even sometimes fenders on the tractor you are using it on because of the bracing; 2)one-way lift cylinders and cable tilt mean no positive down pressure (other than gravity), and 3)due to the frame wrapping around the back of the tractor, it is pretty much impossible to run any PTO-driven implement with it. But for what they were designed for (stacking and feeding hay) they were way ahead of their time (also my opinion).
