How big do I need to handle round bales??

Posted by Hertenstein on July 17, 2017 at 05:18:47 from (162.212.60.13):

Hello all,

I'm looking at buying a different tractor. I want to handle big round bales (6'), 1 on the loader and 1 on the three point. I'm currently doing it with a 1970's vintage JD 2030 w/ #48 loader but it's a real load on the tractor so I need something safer. I will be buying something with front wheel drive. I want a machine big enough to easily handle the load but I don't want a huge over size situation. I would greatly appreciate any and all input to help with the purchase.

Thanks!
