Are you wanting for the fork lift or the high lift part for hale bales or both?

You need a large heavy tractor 75+ HP with a 4wd to safely use these highlifts. A 35 HP tractor has the hydraulic pressure and seems large enough but I've seen guys turn the tractor over because they did not have enough weight. If you just want to put a round bale on a trailer then look at the Fred Cain Style Scissor lifts.

The Fred Cain high lift spear was what I was thinking /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif if he needed it for high lifting round bales.

How high can one of these lift a bale?

The height is determined by the size of the tractor they are mounted on. They will set a round bale on a normal wagon. if you want to stack hay, this loader will stack hay on top of other bales if you position the bale in the center of two bales. The #1 use is for people that want to move round bales on standard 4 tire wagon and do not want to invest in a FEL.

Hey CCI, I believe I emailed you a week ago about this hi-lift & a 5 wheel rake. Never heard from you. Did my Hotmail account not pick up your reply?

I apologize please resend the email. We get 100+ emails a day and likely I missed it.
