Hi all,
I have a Branson 5220 with a FEL 55hp turbo. The loader is rated for 2200 pounds at the pins. I was wondering if I will stress the loader by using a bolt on bale spear instead of dropping the bucket and attach a bale spear directly to the arms. My dealer has a one in a quick detach for $400. The bales I plan to pick up are around 800 pounds.
