Jay, either one of those tractors can move A round bale, but I wouldn't try to move hundreds of them. They are a bit lightweigh for that kind of use. Both are good tractors. The Massey Ferguson 135 is the best "little" tractor ever built. (This is coming from someone who bleeds green) For a few bucks more, you could get a bigger tractor. MF 165's sell for about the same as 135's. You need something with more hydraulic lift power than the 135 or 3000. Your investment will be "safer" if you get a tractor that will hold up to heavier use. That 135 won't be worth much with the 3 pt. not working. The smaller tractors are dis-proportionatley expensive becouse of all the demand for small "garden" tractors. I would look for something in the 50 to 60 h.p. range, and around 6000 lbs. or heavier. Better too big, than too small. Good luck, Bill
