[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1312530, member: 14713"] +1. Driving backwards definitely helps, IF you can get the bale off the ground in the first place. According to dun's link, the 35 only weighs 3093 lbs. You're going to need some extra weight out front, and the tractor hydraulics are going to have to be in top notch shape. Otherwise, I don't see round bales happening. Not sure what my old Fordson Majors weighed but at least 2000 lbs more than a 35. While the Major would easily handle a 800 lb bale, it really struggled with a 1300 lb bale. Both bales being the same 5x5 size. The only way to handle the heavier bale was to drive backwards. That got kinda old fast if I had to go more than a quarter mile with it. [/QUOTE]
