Large square hay bale with ck35

[Kilo69]

So I wasn't sure if the little guy could do it. But as the pictures show it can. Approximately 700lbs did it even without counterweight although if I was doing more than two I would so I could move safer. And all this even with a dead display unit computer!

Nice
What brand, length, and weight pallet forks are you using? I have been thinking about getting a set.

My Mahindra Max28, a way smaller tractor handles large square bales in confined space., I just need my counter weight and take it easy when stacking. I can only stack 2 high, as loader lift height ins challenged on a tiny tractor.

The CK for its frame size is a heavy tractor with a low spec loader. I think Kioti does that so more people buy the DK?

They are much easier to move with a bail spear. Don’t have to worry if you are hooking the next bale’s twine like you do with forks. It can be done and I used forks for a while and put on my hay spear on and never went back. I also have a 32 hp tractor a Ford 1920 I can stack three high. I can move two at a time but it’s a little harry with my bale spear. I have one large spear and two small spears ( about 12 inches. If you don’t get it balanced right they want to spin on the large spear. To move two you need a spear with two or more large spears.

I hate using my forks. Next time I'll borrow neighbors bale spears.

A real mess when the twine breaks.

The second bale I just poked the forks in mid way like I would a spear. Worked much easier than trying to find the bottom of the bale. I can see why spears would be far superior!

Titian has some spear options for you at a fair price. If your rear tires are filled you can move those bales without worry. Also have you tried painting the tips of the pallet forks. Makes it easier to see for correct placement.

I have the Titan 42” pallet forks/bale spear/ 2” receiver combo. Works great. Takes about 4 minutes to take forks off and put spear on. For $500 delivered I can’t complain.

Had to put the forks on today to fix some horse fence. The 3 and 4 year old took down last night at 10:35 pm. Took less than 2 minuets to change over.
