I know another farmer that sells hay. he had a lady that wanted smaller bales, so he asked how big and adjusted the baler for that. Not everyone would do this, some balers won't, but if you were to ask & pay for x# in advance. Just another option.

I saw that on tractordata. Add a bolted on spear which moves the weight out father, I'm sure the lift would go down quite a bit.what i can find = 882 lbs @ pin
when I was looking at tractors the dealer told me whatever number was on the arms I could double that number and that would get me in the ballpark on lift capacity.
la450= about 900 lbs.
on my 2301 it says la435, lift = about 870lbs
accurate, I think so.

Look into a 3 point bale forks. you can probably lift 1500-1800lbs with the three point and the weight will be in a better place. probably would have to roll it off the trailer and won't be able to lift it to stack it much.
When I bought my 2650 the dealer said the number is how many KG it will lift so conversion at 2.2 pounds to a Kilo would put you at 990.

Here's a L3000 with LA450S, Kubota fork back plate and 42" spear.
As far as 3pt goes you'll need some weight on the back and when it comes to lifting hay the loader and 3pt are about equal.
These are 4x5 rolls from a Vermeer baler. Here are a few pics of it in action, even a night shot with chicken lights.

You can use the force x distance formula for a lever to calculate the lifting power.
900 x the distance to the pivot point.
Then divide that by the distance to the bail spear end and you will have your weight at that point.

Bulldog, thanks for the pics. It looks like you roll back the bale right off the truck getting the weight back to the tractor. Nothing wrong with that.
I just hate taking the bucket off to move hay, cause I use the bucket all the time! And I don't have the bobcat mounting plate.......
Actually all those pics were loading in the field but yes it helps to roll it back because of the weight. Stacking double it's also a height issue.
You need to get one of these. Kubota style QA. Pull 2 bottom pins and set the bucket off. I prefer this over a SSQA by a long shot but that's me I guess.
