</font><font color="blue" class="small">( my sugestion was 2000lb compact 1200lb lift in the specs. of anew tractor in this cover your a** world the maufacter must be confident in the safty issue )</font>
My NH 1920 lift easilly lifts over 2/3rds of the tractor weight.. and it will snatch the front right off the ground without blinking if you hitch to a load that doesn't give.

That would be Harry ferguson.. and was developed before he partnered with Ford in '39.. and well before he partnered with massey.. etc.
At any rate.. the point is moot.. I got to drive around on a nice minty super a at the Fl Flywheelers show. After seeing how its final drives, and axles looked.. tranny casting.. etc... If you want to 1000+ pounds up on there.. go ahead..
If it were my machine.. I wouldn't want to.. nor would I want to drive it that way... Machine is too narrow.. dishing the wheels would help. Front weight would help.. but then I would worrk about the frame structure... Quite a lot of front weight would be needed to offset a rear bale.
