If you are going to use a loader on a tractor you'll want more than just a tractor that will lift a bale. You'll want a heavy enough tractor to be able to carry the bale without tipping over on the slightest side slope. If you are carrying the bale high,like you would to get it over the top of a bale feeder, and a rear wheel goes up over a frozen cowpie, you don't want to be worried about the tractor tipping.

I had the 1300 pound weight off once hauling a bale and as I was approaching the feeder with the bale raised up fairly high a rear wheel came off the ground and kept coming up until the wide front end hit the stop. I was standing on the high side axle housing ready to bail off.Jim
