[QUOTE="zammer, post: 131518, member: 24231"] Thank you so much for your insight! I totally agree I can't use one rated for under what I'm picking up but I'm feeling like I need to increase the rating by 40 to 50% for round bales as well! I watched a guy with a new Holland rated at 1250 be up on his front wheels on a bale that I would estimate was under 1000 pounds. He was using a spear. As a potential buyer, I just don't even know how to evaluate that. One thought is that I drive one of my round bales to the sellers location and have them pick up a bale for me that I know weighs 1150 pounds! Sometimes picking them up with a set of forks works a little better I think because of getting under the load a little more. I'm curious if people are finding different models and different lift styles make a difference as well. Thanks again. [/QUOTE]
