I've used a Ford 1500 to move ~500lb round bales and it was on the edge of being safe. Even with a ~800lb implement on the back you're really pushing the capability of that machine. I don't know if I'd touch round bales with a 1320, I'd just roll them by hand(which I've done when the tractor is in the shop).
Now that we've got something appropriately sized(~5k lbs machine) it's a heck of a lot safer to work with bales that size.
- GlenTheMachine 6y agoI have filled tires and I put a bale on the three point hitch bale fork. As long as you go slow and work on level ground it's fairly stable. Also, I should correct the record: it isn't a 1320. it's a 1710. I mistyped, and before I noticed my mistake I couldn't edit the OP.
