Looking at the DX40 and dealer claims that it will handle large round hay bales(1500-1700lbs). Claims it will hold one on back and on the FEL using a spear.

The specs on the 3pt and the loader confirm his claims, but I'm still leary. I can see when both on the tractor it might work, but the moving from the 1st bale to the second might be a bit interesting with out a lot of counter weight attached somewhere.

I would like your comments.

The DX-40 is of similar weight and size as the TC-40 NH. I have moved bales with this tractor on the rear spear and would not hesitate to move them with a FEL.

I would load the rear tires or use wheel weights. Like the FEL moving earth, the rear would get light without it.

Ray,
Not sure about the round bale question, but due yourself a favor and have the New Holland quoted. They usually come up about 1500-2000 cheaper then the Case. the DX is a direct copy of the Boomer only difference is the paint. ....
