Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see

Do you want to move them with the FEL or a 3 pt spear at the rear? I front loader on an 800 Case will do it, especially if the loader uses a frame and you use a bale spear attachment, not just a spear chained to the bucket. But it won't be the best machine for the job. Something later with more modern hydraulics and a heavy duty front ax, something more along the industrial lines, will handle a large bale out front better. If you go rear mounted then the problem with an 800 Case is that the Eagle hitch just doesn't lift as high as a standard cat 1 or 2 3 pt. I had to fab up a top link mount over the PTO shaft for my 800 to work good with the bale spear and it still requires backing through some ditches or the bale gets pulled off the spear.
