I never owned an M but I was waiting for someone else to say it. I doubt the M could handle a big bale. You never stated what size bale it was? 5', 5.5', or 6'? And how heavy does the guy who baled them say they are?
I don't think you have enough weight in the rear end to pick one up and move it around even if you had enough hydraulic lift to pick up a bale. Probably not even if you tied on to your plow on back.
I pick up the 6' 1500# bales with my 2606 and IH3000 loader and move them around. Not sure I could have done it with my previous 460 with a manure bucket. Manure buckets are worth about what they are made for - manure!!
5' bales are still probably around a 1000 to 1100#.
When I couldn't pick them up with my old 460, I'd slide the manure bucket under the bale and tie it on with a chain. Then pull or push it into the corral.
Hate to see you spend a bunch of bucks on something impossible. Guess I'll wait to here from others on this.

The reason you don't find any decals in your replacement set wit
