    My 2019 could not handle the ones we have. They are over 1500lbs each. Heck, two of our tractors can't handle them - the nose gets lifted off the ground.

    Without a 3 point hitch, how would you lift the bale?

    I would look at a Greg Judy bale unroller.

    Way too much weight if we're talking a bale spear to haul round bales, it's pushing it to carry one on a 3/4 ton truck.
