Would like to purchase a loader for a ford/new holland 5610s two wheel drive . Will use it for loading 6x5 round bales of hay and other odds and ends. Any recomendations ?

I agreeERNIBIGB":d0swpjd3 said:Those rolls are gonna be heavy for that tractor to handle. Be very careful.
well we fed the big 5 by 6 bales all winter using a MX5100 HST 4x4 w/fel all winter.an had no prob lifting or carring the bales.plus we even loaded on trailers.but i wouldnt try stacking 2 high with my tractor.the 5610 is a 62hp give or take.
a 7700 is is a whole different weight, HP and frame category from a 5610bigbull338":14ac4lgz said:let me add this,we have a 7700 ford that has been a loader tractor for 32yrs.an just this year we had to replce both front hubbs bearings an races an repack them with grease.now i know it has been 20yrs or more since that has been done to the tractor.

a 5610 is about the same frame category as the old 3000 fords
5610 weighs in the 5600lb categoryJohn SD":2rbovn9f said:Angus Cowman":2rbovn9f said:a 7700 is is a whole different weight, HP and frame category from a 5610

Good point, Angus Cowman. I've never been around a 5610 but I think it replaced the 5000. I've been around a few 5000s and in size they are closer to a Major than a 7000. I also got my Major owner's manual out. The official weight with out extra cast or fluid is 5010 lbs. A 5610 can't be too much heavier.
