I have a 49 Case DC with an F-10 on it. Been sitting in the junk row and last time it ran was 15 years ago. I don't know to much about the setup. I assume it can lift a round bale (up to 1600#) without problems. I can't find any information on lifting capacity. Debating on restoring to usable conditions but want to make sure of capacity first. Any info would be appreciated.

Bridge style? It'll lift a lot higher than
a non bridge style, but both will probably
lift a 1600# bale as high as you want it,
unless you are trying to put them in the
upper story of the barn. After running a
bridge style for many hours, I'd think the
DC's hand clutch would be a significant
handicap in the operation of an F-10.

how high are u needed to lift them? off the ground to move or high enough to dump in a feeder? and yes you can roll feeder on after but in
winter when froze down thats kinda out.
i just used my w6 with farmhand to level some dirt few days ago works good for that. i have an F10 on a farmall H also looking at those cyl's i might lift a bale but be pretty tippy once its on, as the tractors are pretty rocky once they have weight on the front. then u need some way to keep the bale on the front like longer forks. i just dont think it would be practical as an everyday user thing for bales.
then to steer the tractor is another thing too.

Those DC4s were heavy steering with just their own cast wheels on the front. I can't imagine trying to drive one with a loader and a 1500 pound bale hanging on it. Plus my DC4 has been a "pull start" tractor for years although everybody tells me they are a good starter.
