Once a year I need to handle 30 - 800# square bales of hay. My 8N has a small bucket that we use to drag and flip the bales. Is there a system that I can attach to my bucket to actually lift these bales or are they too much for an 8N?

Gyp,

I few days ago there was a picture of a pull behind trailer that had spikes to deal with large bales. The only strain on the N would be pulling the trailer.

I'll try to find the post and let you know.

GYP..... ..I know that 3-point rearmount bale spears or forklift prongs won't lift more than 750#. And I think most N's FEL's are pretty much maxed out at 500#. (hydraulic lift power, frontend axle strength, front tire weight capacity, additional balance weight needed in back)

There are hydraulicly operated FEL forklift prongs and bale spears available to be used with and without a bucket, maybe you can get a demo loan from implement sales outfit.

N-Tractors are very handy tools, but they are NOT always the right tool for the job. I don't think they're the tool to lift 800# bales..... ..Dell

Dell, I think you are right, the 8N is not heviduty enough for this job. I will probably rethink my procedure for handling these bales.
