I'm afraid you are asking for trouble. IF you can get the bale off the ground , you wont be able to keep the front end on the ground! Vac"s are too lightweight and to short of wheel base to safely handle that kind of weight. They just were not desinged for this kind of use. But they are still a handy little tractor!! I have many of the Va series.VA VAC VAC13 VAI VAIW VAH VAS, Doug

I built a spear like a round bale mover to remove the 530# wheel weights on my dad's 930 and found it was more than the VAC wanted

It should have enough lift for 800# but you might need to weight the front of the tractor some. I believe that the heaviest thing I've picked up with mine is a small-block Chevy on the end of a 4 foot boom.
