Kubota B3030 question

[Hay Dude]

Can a B3030 with a Kubota FEL lift an 800-850 lb round bale 6' high and dump into a round bale feeder? I figure bale spear weighs about 125lbs so total weight would be 925-975lbs. This model would have a cab, so it's got a little more weight to it.

I doubt if it will. The bulk of the weight will be too far away from the pins where the highest rating is measured. You will need a larger frame tractor to lift that much weight to the height to you need.

I agree with the above poster: I think you will be pushing it. And if you ever needed a fudge factor in case of a wet or denser bale, you would really be in trouble. Having said this, I love my B3030 and the best news, it doesn't have a Tier IV engine.
