Back in the day I thought I was doing good with One on the front and one on the back.

Yesterday I used a friends Ford 4000 with a single 3pt spear to move about 55 rolls off a field because my tractor is across town. I just about cried from pure boredom. 55 trips across a field vs 10 makes a lot of difference.

It was originally made to carry big square hay stacks made by a Hesston Stackhand.

Thats cute. When you sell that tractor, I pity the next owner.

I don't understand, are you saying that is too many bales?

Abuse way past the design limits of the machine accelerates wear and failure. When I pay 65-85 grand for a tractor I take care of my investment, not abuse it.
