Did you mean the bales are from 1200 to
2000 lbs? Not familiar with 122 lb round
bales, or oyur wide range anyhow. :)

Using a front loader to handle round bales is
kind of a big job. One can get oneself hurt in a
hurry without experience.

Is there some reason you need to stack these
bales high? A 3pt lift like a sturdy fork lift; or a
3pt bale spear puts the weight on the rear axle
of the tractor, where it is much, mouch more
stable & safe & limited in how high you can go
& the tractor rear handles the weight much
better than the tractor front...

If you need to stack the bales 2 high, a Fred
Cane or similar type of sissors 3pt lift can get
the job done too.

Any reason to have to lift a 2 ton bale up high?
That takes a very heavy tractor to keep it from
tipping. Not so much hp, but _weight_ . Lots.

If you only need to transport bales, then the 3pt
options are alot easier & safer.
