Was wondering how much weight a person could put on the front end of a tractor. A budy has an attachment for a dozer blade on his 4440. When he is not using the blade he has a bale fork on there to haul an extra bale out to feed. I have a double bale carrier for a three point. If I got a dozer and made an attachment for 3pt would this be too much wt up front? 2 bales @ 1625 and the carrier 750-1000#? That should be much more than a front end loader would it?

Any way your thoughts would be great!

Thanks
Gary

One thing you might want to look at is how close to the tractor you will be carrying the weight. If its a lot closer to the tractor than with a loader it should help. Also if your 5088 is MFWD or a late model 2 wheel drive with the square tube front axle it should be pretty stout. Lee

Last year we picked up large square corn stalk bales (about 1350# apiece) two at a time with a loader on our 1086. Bouncing across the rows and going with to put them on a trailer. Probably not good for it but didn't break anything. I'm guessing 5088 has a heavier front axle.
